If You Love Me, You'll Divorce Me

From Secret Dubai,

The 22-year-old wife had given her 27-year-old husband an ultimatum, saying that if he really loved her, he would divorce her.

Staff at the Justice Department were not particularly impressed, describing the wife as "immature" and the husband as "childish". They recommended the couple seek psychiatric help.

A rare instance in which I agree with a bureaucratic decision.
