Size matters for one Saudi Arabian woman - who’s divorcing her husband because he’s too short.

The wife filed for a permanent split from her partner of just seven months after getting fed up with being mocked by friends, according to local media.

The woman, who is in her 20s, said she just couldn’t handle any more jokes being made at her expense.

She told the Department of Islamic Affairs in the Eastern province of Al Qateef that she felt “painfully uneasy and distressingly uncomfortable” while out and about with her spouse.

And she said that people “looked at her with sarcasm” when they were in public together, according to Emirates247.

The exact height of each of the couple, and the gap between them, has not been revealed.

But department judge Sheikh Mohammed Al Jirani said it was “one of the strangest divorces cases we handle.”

“She wants to be divorced on the grounds she feels embarrassed when she goes out with her short husband,” he reportedly told Okaz Arabic language newspaper.
