In one of Egypt's most bizarre divorce cases, a newlywed bride decided to divorce her husband two weeks into the couple's marriage because he was acting "like a housewife".

According to Masrawy, the 28-year-old bride, identified as Maha M., recently headed to one of Egypt's family courts demanding that she is granted a divorce from her husband, identified as Mohammad S., because she could no longer handle living with him.

"We've been married for just two weeks, I've known and loved him for over 2 years but I hate living with him and can no longer handle his actions," Maha said.
