SMELLY HUSBAND DUMPED

An Iranian woman is trying to divorce her husband - because he has not washed for a year.

The 36-year-old woman said her husband used to be one of cleanest persons she knew when they got married eight years ago.

But his personal hygiene has now gone to pot - and he does not even wash his face in the morning.

"My husband says he does not like water and does not want to take a shower... He doesn't even wash his face when he wakes up in the morning," the woman was quoted as saying in court by the state-run Iran newspaper.

"He (used to spend) hours taking showers three times a day and washed his hands every few minutes," said the woman, identified as Mina.

"But he suddenly changed... Now nobody, including me, my children and his colleagues, can stand him."

It is very difficult for women to divorce their husbands in Iran.

They normally have to prove that their husbands have sexually or physically abused them or are drug addicts.
