SANAA (Reuters) - A Yemeni man divorced his first wife because she was loud and argumentative and picked a deaf and mute woman as his new bride, a local newspaper said on Monday.
Al-Thawra daily said a 40-year-old man named as Yahya from the southern Dhamar province so tired of his wife's "screaming and endless disputes" that he left her after 15 years to remarry.
"He chose one deprived of hearing and speech and who is quiet and mild-mannered," it said.
Men in Muslim Yemen can marry up to four wives and can in practice divorce without giving reasons.
