CAIRO, Oct. 12 (UPI) -- An Egyptian court granted a woman a divorce because her husband refused to bathe claiming he was allergic to water, she said.
The woman, a petroleum engineer, approached the courts just weeks after her marriage to complain about her husband's odd behavior, the Egyptian daily Al-Masry-Al-Youm said.
The woman told the newspaper she was surprised over her husband's refusal to bathe and said he told her "this is my habit."
The newspaper said the woman sought the advice of a doctor who confirmed the man's allergy, but said the ailment should not stop him from maintaining self-hygiene.
When her husband refused to grant her a divorce, she turned to the court, and was granted a "khoulu," or divorce, the paper said.
What a stinker. Right so!!!

Yuck! Disgusting! But how can he be allergic to water and how was he supposed to maintain self-hygiene according to the doctor if he was indeed allergic? Strange.

We're made up of two thirds water - can you really be alergic to it?

maybe he allergic to Egypt's polluted water. Now that makes sense.
