A couple have set a new record for the shortest marriage after calling it quits at their reception venue because of the wife’s choice of song.
The groom divorced his wife following an argument during their celebrations in Baghdad.
According to local reports, the woman requested the Syrian song Mesaytara by Lamis Kan. The title translates to ‘I am dominant or I will control you’.
The song begins with the lyrics: “I am dominant; you will be ruled under my strict instructions, I will drive you crazy if you look at other girls on the street.
“Yes, I’m dominant, you’re my piece of sugar. As long as you’re with me, you’ll walk under my command.”
The bride was reportedly dancing to the song and enjoying her wedding, but the groom’s family were not impressed and they voiced their disapproval, which was not supported by the bride’s family who believed it was only a song. It resulted in a huge row between the two families and then the newlyweds.
This is not the first time this has happened. The song led to another divorce in Jordan last year.
