The 36-year-old woman, only identified as Mina, reportedly told a Tehran court her husband Reza smells so bad that even his children will not go near him.
"Everybody is making fun of us. We cannot go to any parties. I feel so ashamed," the woman told the divorce court, according to the governmental Iran (news - web sites) newspaper.
Iranian women wishing to divorce can only demand one if they can prove their husband has met strict critieria -- including being impotent, abusive, a drug addict, in jail, unable to provide for the family or living away from home for more than six months.
"I have put up with him for eight years. I have had enough." she said.
