Summary Majority of social media users are outraged by the wife's statements.
EGYPT (Web Desk) - An Egyptian woman has filed for a divorce from her husband because he wears "cheap clothes," including the traditional Egyptian "gallabiya" (floor length garment).
The family of the woman identified as Karima, S. had initially rejected the man named Raafat because he did not fit in their social circle.
"I defied everyone to marry him. When he proposed, I set my rules and told him he had to change his appearance and the way he dressed in order for my family to accept him and he agreed. When my family saw that he was changing for the better, they blessed our marriage and even attended our wedding," Karima said.
"However, after we got married, Raafat went back to his old ways. He constantly says inappropriate things, his voice is so loud and his appearance is unacceptable. Everyone makes fun of him. My father even jokes about his weird outfits and how he wears a cheap ‘gallabiya,’" she added.
The woman even confronted her husband and tried to change the husband style and attitude before filing for divorce.
"I asked him to buy expensive clothes and brands, but he refused saying there’s nothing wrong with what he wears. A fight ensued between us and I left to my parent’s house soon after. Even though my father asked him to divorce me, Raafat refused and threatened that he’ll take a second wife if I refuse to go back home. He left me no choice but to file a divorce case against him," she explained.
However; majority of social media users are outraged by the wife’s statements while terming the lady ‘classist’ and her thoughts ‘bizarre’.
