Groom sues new wife after he didn't recognise her with no make-up on morning after wedding
A GROOM who mistook his wife for a thief the morning after their wedding because she had no make-up on is trying to sue her for deceiving him.
The Algerian man took his bride to court just a day after getting married after claiming he was shocked when he woke up in the morning and found his wife looked so different he could not recognise her.
He is demanding £12,900 in damages for his "psychological suffering" by "cheating" him with her make-up.
An Algiers court source said: "The groom told the judge that he could not recognise his wife after she washed the make-up off her face.
"He said he was deceived by her as she used to fill up her face with make up before their marriage.
"He said she looked very beautiful and attractive before marriage, but when he woke up in the morning and found that she had washed the make-up off her face, he was frightened as he thought she was a thief.
"The groom told the court that he is demanding $20,000 damages for his psychological suffering."
