Man sue his new wife for fraud after seeing her without make up for the first time

Gentlemen, we hate the break it to you, but women occasionally look different when they are wearing make up.
One groom was seemingly unaware of this well known secret, which is why he is suing his new wife after seeing her without make up on for the first time.
The morning after their recent wedding in Algeria the man reportedly awoke and was shocked to see his wife’s natural face.
At first he didn’t even think the woman lying next to him was his wife, accusing her of being a thief, before finally admitting she was in fact the same woman he had married the day before.

However he is now reportedly suing her for fraud and ‘psychological suffering’.

Emirates 247 reported that the man is looking for $20,000 in damages.
‘He said she looked very beautiful and attractive before marriage, but when he woke up in the morning and found that she had washed the make-up off her face, he was frightened as he thought she was a thief,’ a source told local media.

South Africa police 'recover car stolen 22 years ago'

A South African man is to be reunited with his car 22 years after it was stolen in the capital, Pretoria.
"The car was still in mint condition; nothing was missing - not even the battery," Derrick Goosen told South Africa's News24 website.
Police in the northern province of Limpopo stopped the Toyota Corolla at a road block last November.
One officer then spent months tracing the owner, as the registration and chassis numbers had been removed.
Once Mr Goosen was contacted, he had to drive about 250km (155 miles) north of Pretoria to identify the vehicle.
"The car was of sentimental value to me. I loved it and I am grateful I've found it," the 44-year-old is quoted as saying.
According to News24, the car had been used as a taxi for many years until it was bought by an unsuspecting police officer in Limpopo for about 22,000 South African rand ($1,569).
"She had all the paperwork indicating she was the owner, but she didn't know it was a stolen car and the information had been changed," Mr Goosen said.
Plans are now under way to return that car to its first owner.
