A man in Abu Tisht, northern Qena, Egypt, set fire to his ex-wife's house and that of her groom just one day before their wedding as revenge for her divorce and marriage to another man. Investigations revealed details of a fight that erupted between two families in a village in Abu Tisht, resulting in four people sustaining minor injuries and a house catching fire.
It was found that the accused was previously married to his cousin and they had a daughter together. However, conflicts arose between them, leading the wife to file for divorce five years ago. She had her wedding ceremony the day before with her new husband, attended by her family members.
The accused decided to take revenge on his ex-wife and her groom by setting their new marital home ablaze during the henna night celebration, demanding that she be divorced forcibly before her wedding. A brawl broke out between the two parties, resulting in four injuries. The fire was brought under control, and security forces established a security cordon between the two families to prevent further clashes. A report of the incident was filed, and the public prosecution was notified to initiate investigations.
