Women and their ways-4

Saudi Arabia bride demands groom marry her friends

Husband rents three apartments for three wives

Dubai: A Saudi teacher has reportedly told the man who wanted to marry her that she had only one condition before accepting his proposal: He must marry her two friends at the school at the same time.

The would-be groom was shocked by her unexpected demand, but came under strong pressure from relatives and friends who eventually persuaded him to accept to marry the three women, Saudi daily Al Youm reported.

Under the deal, the bridegroom rented three apartments in the same building and lodged each of his brides in her own flat.

Polygamy is allowed in Saudi Arabia, and a man is entitled to take up to four wives, but must not differentiate between them and must treat them equally physically and emotionally and in regard to sustenance, expenditure, time and all obligations as a husband.

Cultural differences.

 

Yes.

The unusal part is brides initiative

 

I'm sorry, but what's the point you're trying to make here about "women and their ways?" Because this seems like more of one of those who gives a shit stories that gets aired on a slow news day.

 

Mmmm hmmm, and whats the bet that he's loaded and the two friends are butt ugly

I'm trying to imagine myself in her position.
A guy asks me to marry. I know he can have 4 wives. I estimate that he has enough energy, time and money for three maximum.
I can get the shock of my life, when he decides to marry a woman that I can't stand. We will have to live in the same household and get along...very unappealing.
I have two friends. I know them well and they aren't married. The three of us all agree my future husband is a great guy.

Yes, I do think this woman's idea makes a lot of sense, taking into account her cultural background.

 

Oh my god it will be realy tough to accept that your man can anytime slip away That to legally.

 

That makes sense.

It's the pressure from the man's family that might have had the deciding influence to say yes or no to the proposal's terms and conditions I frown on.

But the concept seems fair enough in theory. Let's see if they actually are all treated equally in reality though.

And as for the offspring of all them, I hope they're all treated equally as well. (But they probably won't be)
