A Saudi man divorced his wife after she insisted on waiting 13 hours at an airport to take a flight that kept being delayed, the Saudi daily al-Yaum said on Tuesday.
The couple waited from 9am until 11pm last weekend to take a flight at the Bisha airport in the south of the Saudi kingdom.
The paper quoted relatives of the husband saying the wife refused to return home and take another flight, causing the man to divorce her at the airport.
In Saudi Arabia, a man may receive a divorce simply upon request, while a woman must win a legal decision to separate. – Sapa-dpa
