    Quickie divorce... Saudi style

    Ever travelled to a nearby city on your own? In Saudi Arabia, this could be grounds for divorce. A Saudi man broke up with his wife because she “disobeyed” him by going on a business trip without his consent.

    The man phoned a radio program dealing with marital problems to complain about his wife to host Sheikh Ghazi al-Shammari, a prominent Islamic scholar. The unnamed man said his wife “offended his manhood” by traveling from the Saudi port city of Jeddah to the capital Riyadh for a business conference, alone and without his approval.

    Al-Shammari concluded that the man had to divorce his wife.

    Such a wife is suspicious because she insisted to travel alone to Riyadh and without ample reason,” Al-Shammari later said, as quoted by Al-Arabiya. “I did not rush with the advice because I saw that the issue was dangerous and that we should not remain silent more about it.

    The caller decided to heed the advice, and divorced his wife of ten years – during the live broadcast. Al-Shammari said the man should consider remarrying her if she repents for her actions.

    For a man the procedure couldn’t be easier. All he has to do is say he is divorcing his wife three times, and just three weeks ago a Saudi man divorced his wife via SMS. He then called two of his relatives to confirm the split. A Saudi court then quickly confirmed the divorce by summoning the two relatives to affirm the husband’s intention.

    Saudi women, however, are at a significant disadvantage when it comes to getting a divorce. They have to endure a tedious court process, which can drag on for months. They can opt to hasten the process by filing a Kuhla lawsuit instead, but that involves paying back dowries. The proceedings are further complicated by the fact that the husband is often unwilling to attend hearings. Judges are usually reluctant to issue rulings if the husband doesn’t pay a visit to the court, though they do have a right to issue a police order to force the husband to attend.

    Saudi Arabia has one of the highest rates of divorce, with over 18,765 divorce cases recorded in 2010. This means one divorce every half an hour, local expert Awad al-Harbi estimates.
    Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"

    Next the dirty slut will want to drive her own car and not wear a veil, good on him for divorcing her now before she starts wearing make up in an obvious attempt to get raped and stuff.

    There's a good possibility that it was her plan to get divorced. Anyone think of that?

    It amazes me how the boys can have quite legal and temporary "marriages" to a whore for the weekend.

    That way, the missus can't call it cheating.

    Indeed, Nat.

    The feminine perspective is in short supply.

    It seems to be the other extreme of divorce in the West, where the man becomes the "walking wounded," having lost: house, kids, savings, car & having his income deducted at source to pay alimony, while the ex-wife's boy friend moves in.

    This saying "I divorce you " 3 times business.
    Is there a timeframe attached?
    What if I said it twice today, and one more time next week?
    Does that count?
    What if I had said it a couple of time a few years ago when I was drunk and forgot all about it?

    ^ Has to be witnessed, even if it's done via SMS.

    Oh yes, the old mullahs are well up to date. I think it was the '80s when they finally decided single girls could talk to non-family males on the telephonic voice projection apparatus, provided a chaperone listened in on the call.

    They are doing their head in with mobiles, they think they are satan's creation.

    Women really need to know their place!

    Why do they feel they need to move away from bringing up children and washing dishes? Leave real work to the men!

    As an addendum; once divorced, it is invariably the case that they will not be accepted as a wife by another Saudi man.

    sounds like your typical American Radio host Religious talk show, full of nutters making claims and taking actions

    ^ Ah yes. Dr. Laura. Moralistic hag who lectures callers about their values.

    And then the married man she'd been fucking released her naked pictures on the internet.

    She still got away with it, because she said it happened before she became a Joo.
