TEHRAN (Reuters) - An Iranian woman has requested a
divorce from her husband on the grounds that he has
not washed for more than a year.

"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," Mina, 36, was
quoted as saying in court by the state-run Iran (news
- web sites) newspaper.

When the couple first married eight years ago her
husband was obsessively clean, she said.

"He spent hours taking showers three times a day and
washed his hands every few minutes," Mina said. "But
he suddenly changed ... Now nobody, including me, my
children and his colleagues, can stand him."

Divorce is a notoriously difficult process for women
in Iran, who normally have to prove that their husband
has neglected them financially or sexually, is a drug
addict or physically abusive.
