Man who doesn't bathe loses his wife in Egypt

An Egyptian woman was forced to go to court to complain about her husband who has been refusing to take a shower for a month. It ruled in the woman's favour and granted a divorce only after a few weeks of their marriage.
The woman, a petroleum engineer, told the court that she was "surprised" that her husband refused to bathe because of a certain kind of "allergy from water", according to Egyptian Arabic-language newspaper Al Masri Al Yaum.

I think I had read about similar story where wife got divorced because husband refused to brush his teeth. But refusing to take bath for a month is something new.

Maybe because of scarcity of water but its really a stink...bad practices. I noticed from my colleague that they're just putting a volume of perfume in their body then going to work without taking a bath. After the perfume scents gone, ewwwwwww a foul odor from their body goes on. Oh please don't call me racist! I just share what I've observed.

And she actually lasted a month? she's a rock star,she is! Subhanallah! that's just gross.. yuuuuuuuuuck! For all its worth its a part of our faith to be clean..even if the man had an allergy there are still ways to ensure a hygienic body.Fancy him getting angry to top it all? eeeew!
