A couple's marriage ended in record-breaking fashion, lasting just three minutes, after the groom ridiculed the bride as they left their wedding ceremony.

Upon finishing the legal proceedings, the newlyweds turned to leave the courthouse, but the bride stumbled.

According to reports, the groom responded by calling her stupid for falling.

Q8 News states that the woman became enraged and demanded the judge dissolve their union immediately.

The judge complied, issuing an annulment mere minutes after initially pronouncing them husband and wife.

The couple, who live in Kuwait, never even left the courthouse as a married pair.

This is believed to be the shortest marriage in the nation's history.

The story has been widely circulated online, with many people supporting the bride's decision.
