The ex-lover had allegedly asked the bride to be in a relationship with him, threatening to unleash the pictures if she refused. She told him she was getting married and wanted to start a new life. But apparently unable to take the rejection, the spurned lover released the pictures with a note telling the groom to look at them. Al Shammari said:
“The groom came to see me the next day and he was under strong emotional trauma. “It was truly the shock of his life and he could not bear the scandal.” For better or worse did not work on the groom in this case, it would seem.
