Newlyweds Divorce Over Proper Way To Eat Peas

We've Finally Found The Stupidest Grounds For Divorce

One woman is blaming her divorce on a plate of peas.

Al Arabiya News reported earlier this week that a newlywed Kuwaiti woman has filed for divorce a week into her marriage after discovering that her husband prefers to use bread, rather than a fork, to eat peas.
