An Indian man filed for divorce because he found his new bride's facial blemishes unbearable, according to The Times of India. In fact, he was so turned off that they never consummated the arranged marriage. He said she tried to hide her "condition," — that she attempted to fool him. (Reminder: This is a case of acne.)
The family court judge that presided over the case noted that although the women's acne was devastating for her, he was also sympathetic to the husband, for whom it must have been "traumatic." Sure, file this under "divorce news of the weird," and end of story, yes? No. It gets a bit stranger.
The man divorced his ex in 1998, and the court ruled the marriage was null and void in 2002. So why is this current day news? Because for the past six years, the woman has been fighting family court to have the negative remarks regarding her appearance expunged. In her own words:
Pimples are curable and don't hamper peaceful co-existence in married life, she said in her petition to the Bombay high court six years back.
The court has finally withdrawn the allegations last week.
Not sure if we'd call that "justice," but it's a start.
