HuffPost Publishes CEN Camel-Divorce Story Later Flagged In BuzzFeed Material

This Source Library item is a web screenshot of a HuffPost UK article dated 12 March 2015 under the headline “Saudi Man Divorces Wife Because She Was In Love With A Camel”, with the subheading “Divorce for Saudi wife who ‘loved a camel more than her husband’.” The page shows the story presented as an offbeat Saudi Arabia item, illustrated with a camel image and a second image of a veiled man, and tagged under Saudi Arabia, Divorce, Camels, Relationships and Weird News. The article reports that a Saudi Arabian man divorced his wife after an awkward trip to Riyadh, claiming she had described the camel as “her first love” and saying the husband decided to end the marriage. Its significance in the Source Library is that the story appears in the wider CEN/BuzzFeed record as one of the examples around which BuzzFeed and others discussed CEN material, while also showing how the same kind of offbeat agency copy was published by major online outlets in the ordinary course of viral and weird-news publishing. It should be read alongside the BuzzFeed disclosure items already logged as BuzzFeed_001598 and BuzzFeed_001796, which relate to the same camel-divorce story, because those documents provide the internal BuzzFeed/documentary context while this screenshot preserves the public-facing article as it appeared online.
