Husband divorces wife because she was too busy texting to have sex on their wedding night

In Saudi Arabia, however, a newlywed husband was reportedly distraught when his attempts at carnal proximity with his wife were thwarted by her need to text her friends.

As Gulf News reports, relying on a story in Saudi newspaper Al Watan, divorce proceedings have already begun.

The tale, as told by one of the groom's relatives, is that the happy couple went back to their hotel room.

"As soon as the bride was in the room, she kept using her mobile," the relative told Al Watan. "Her groom tried to get closer with her and become more intimate, but he was shocked when she ignored him, not responding to his words and action."

Wedding nights can be tricky. Great promises have been made. Vast emotions swirl. Heads are giddy. Minds malfunction.

In this case, though, the wife was busy texting her friends. The husband asked his wife to please stop with the texting.

And then came the painful blow. In the relative's words, "When he asked her if her friends were more important than he was, the bride answered that they were."
