Dubai court annuls marriage to 'bearded lady'
An Arab country's ambassador to Dubai has had his marriage contract annulled after discovering the bride was cross-eyed and had facial hair. The woman had worn an Islamic veil, known as the niqab, on the few occasions the couple had met.
The envoy, who has not been identified, told a Sharia court her mother had tricked him by showing him pictures of the bride's sister, Gulf News reported.
He only discovered the deception when he lifted the woman's veil to kiss her.
The court had annulled the marriage contract but rejected a $130,000 (£83,000) compensation claim for gifts he had bought his intended, the report said.

Ok, I am only going off of what you posted, but.....this makes religion funny how?
Disclaimer: this is not me disparaging or defending religion. Rather, to me, you should other put some of your own commentary in your post indicating how it makes religion funny, or cut and paste in a snippet of the article that says that religion is funny...

The fact that a dude would marry a woman without seeing what she looks like solely due to the fact that their religion dictates the reason he can't see her is hysterical to me.

If we keep discussing movies, this may be the most civil religion thread in the history of the internet.

I think the court did the guy a favour, to be honest.

Arranged marriages to bearded ladies are funny, regardless of whether or not religion is involved.

If you squint at the Scarlett Johannson picture, you can sort of imagine that the shadows on her face are a bit of stubble.

I'd still plow her, then I'd divorce her.
