The couple, from the Western Saudi town of Medinah, had agreed to marry each other despite having not met face to face - a popular custom in certain Middle Eastern countries.
But when the bride removed her veil and smiled for the camera, her new husband leapt to his feet in disgust and declared,
'You are not the one I had imagined. I am sorry, but I divorce you'
According to the local paper, 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.
News of the jilting was met with anger on social media, but also some words of encouragement for the jilted bride.
'He should appreciate that beauty is in the character, not the face.’
‘Let’s hope she gets a better husband who will appreciate her for who and what she is.'
