A Saudi man has been divorced by his wife because she had walked ahead of him, despite his constant warnings that she might follow him.

Saudis are being greatly alarmed because of the number of divorces in the kingdom for minor reasons, while calling for married couples, especially those newly married, to be offered advisory services, broadcast Express.

The man who was not identified had repeatedly warned his wife to step behind him, but she had refused to walk ahead of him, which led to their divorce, reports Saudi daily Al Watan, Express.
