A man in the UAE has divorced his wife on the grounds that she is a djinn - otherwise known as a genie.
The husband claims that his sexual advances were persistently rebuffed by his wife. When the husband contacted his wife's family, they told him that she was possessed by a djinn and that they had contacted several religious "scholars" about the matter.
None were able to perform an exorcism on the woman.
Oh yeah. It gets better / worse.
The couple divorced and the husband was ordered to pay his wife a maintenance of approximately €10,000.
The husband is, however, claiming that he does not need to provide the woman with an allowance as he was not informed of the fact his wife was a genie until it became an issue.
"The woman and her family cheated my client. They should have been honest and clear about the fact that the wife was possessed by a djinn."
Amazingly, the court in Dubai upheld his complaint and ruled that she wasn't entitled to a maintenance from him.
Two words - Judge Judy. She'd sort this out.
