Shortest-marriage ever? Couple divorces 3 minutes after wedding
While the incident took place in 2019, it has again caught attention of netizens and is going viral across social media platforms.
In a bizarre incident, a Kuwaiti couple divorced just three minutes after being declared husband and wife. This is believed to be the most short-lived marriage in the history as the couple had not even left the court as husband and wife.
While the incident took place in 2019, it has again caught attention of netizens and is going viral across social media platforms.
What led to the divorce?
According to a report, the groom insulted the bride as they were leaving the wedding ceremony after the formal proceedings concluded.
While the pair turned to move out of the courthouse, the bride tripped and fell. However, the groom called her stupid for falling over. Hearing this, the woman got furious and demanded the judge to call their marriage off immediately.
The judge agreed and issued an annulment just three minutes after marrying them.
Here’s how netizens react:
Praising the bride for ditching her critical husband, netizens said: “A marriage with no respect is a failed one right from the beginning”. “If this is how he acts right at the beginning, it’s better to leave him,” another said.
Meanwhile a user reminisced about an incident where a bride failed to take such a brave step. “I went to a wedding where the groom spent his speech making fun of his wife like it was some kind of roast, as did her father. She should have done what this woman did,” a person wrote on X.

In a similar instance, in 2019, a couple from Gujarat got separated just a few minutes into their wedding after a fight broke out between the two families over lunch. The families also returned the gifts exchanged during the wedding ceremonies.
Another incident also came to light where a couple from the United Kingdom filed for divorce after only 90 minutes of marriage in 2004.
