A PAIR of newlyweds divorced just THREE minutes after tying the knot - after the groom called his new wife "stupid" for tripping over.

The ill-fated marriage broke down when the tearful bride demanded an annulment after being mocked by her husband.

She tripped up just seconds after signing the marriage contract at a courthouse.

Local media reports claim the judge officiating the ceremony dissolved their marriage on the spot - leaving them with the shortest partnership in Kuwaiti legal history.

They had only been married for three minutes.

Internet users flooded social media with support for the woman.

One wrote: "If this is how he acts right at the beginning, it's better to leave him."

Another added: "A marriage with no respect, is a failed one right from the beginning."
