Gentlemen, we hate the break it to you, but women occasionally look different when they are wearing make up.

One groom was seemingly unaware of this well known secret, which is why he is suing his new wife after seeing her without make up on for the first time.

The morning after their recent wedding in Algeria the man reportedly awoke and was shocked to see his wife’s natural face.

At first he didn’t even think the woman lying next to him was his wife, accusing her of being a thief, before finally admitting she was in fact the same woman he had married the day before.

However he is now reportedly suing her for fraud and ‘psychological suffering’.



Emirates 247 reported that the man is looking for $20,000 (£13,000) in damages.

‘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,’ a source told local media.

And people wonder why women say men are pigs?
