That’s a Wrap! Woman Divorces Husband After He Refuses to Buy Her a Shawarma

Speaking before the Family Court, the young woman claims that the shawarma incident was the straw that broke the camel’s back. She had married Ahmed, a teacher, after only knowing him for two months, which apparently wasn’t long enough for her to realize how incredibly stingy he was.
However, his frugal nature became very obvious right after their traditional wedding. On their first day of marriage, Ahmed allegedly told his wife that he hated going out because he viewed it as a waste of money. She didn’t pay much attention to his words then, but things got worse with each passing day.
The 30 year old told the judge
presiding over her divorce case that despite having a good job and tutoring
students in his free time, Ahmed adopted an extremely frugal lifestyle, even
when it came to food. When he left for work, he always checked how much bread
was left, and one time, when she ate a loaf of it in his absence, he told her
that she was to eat only rice and macaroni until the weekend.
The young woman told her family
about Ahmed’s stinginess but they said it wasn’t cause for concern and advised
her to be patient, that her husband would change in time.
But the incident that finally
convinced the 30 year old that she needed to get a divorce. She begged him to
take her out for a drink so she could get some fresh air, and he reluctantly
agreed. But when she asked for a shawarma sandwich, he flat out refused saying
that they had only gone out for a drink, not food.
According to reports, the 30 year
old told the judge that she couldn’t go
on living with her “sick” husband.
