A Man From Dubai Divorced His Wife a Few Minutes After the Ceremony
We are definitely not joking about it. Right after the man signed the marriage contract, he got out of the room and went next door to get divorced right away. Why? He and his wife discussed her not keeping her job after they get married. At that given point she accepted and everything was sorted out, or so he thought. Right before the ceremony, his ex-wife’s father came to him and said that the only condition that he has is to let her wife keep her job.
He was ashamed to say “no” to him so he accepted the condition but knew that he wouldn’t want to be married to her. This man will probably get to be in the Guinness World Records for having the shortest marriage ever in history!

I thought we should be talking about famous people as well. As we know, celebrities tend to have a lot of “fails” when it comes to relationships and marriage. The thing is, most of them keep everything about their life private so we wouldn’t know how long do their relationships/marriages last.
Even though they try to keep things a secret, it wasn’t the case when Brittney Spears got married in Vegas to Jason Alexander. As everybody expects, when you get married in Vegas, it’s never good news. Two days after the marriage, she filled a divorce, mentioning that she wasn’t in the best state of mind and she didn’t understand her actions and the repercussions of a marriage.
