According to Daily Mail, the couple from the Western Saudi town of Medinah, had agreed to marry each other even though they hadn't met face-to-face before - a custom which is popular in certain Middle Eastern countries.
When the bride removed her veil and smiled for the camera, her new husband jumped to his feet in disgust.
"You are not the girl I want to marry," he said. "You are not the one I had imagined. I am sorry, but I divorce you."

A local daily, Okaz, reported that the bride immediately collapsed in a fit of tears as panicked wedding guests stepped in to try to resolve the dispute. But their efforts were to no avail.
"The groom said he had not been able to see his bride's face before marriage," Okaz reported. "When he divorced her, the bride collapsed and the wedding turned into a night of tears."
News of the abrupt jilting was met with anger on social media as some accused the groom of being insensitive and vain.
