Saudi Man Avenges Ex-Wife With $80,000 Road Fines, But Plan Backfires
Al Arabiya ^ | Tuesday, 28 February 2017

Saudi’s highways authorities have cleared a woman of traffic fines totaling $80,000, even though it was her car involved in the offences.

The woman’s car was the one being driven, but it was her estranged husband at the wheel shortly after she filed for divorce as a form of revenge.

The jilted man committed a whopping 375 traffic offences in Jeddah, in the woman’s car, Saudi daily Okaz reported.

The woman initially received the fines, but after explaining what had happened, the authorities transferred to her ex-husband’s name.

She can pwn a car, but can’t drive.

Why not just take her on vacation to East Africa and sell her into slavery?

You don't need to explain this to us. We've all been on the internet for awhile.

Okay, so what good is that exactly? No wonder she left her husband as he is obviously too stupid to take that fact into consideration. Also I am amazed that they allow a woman to divorce their husband. Allah most likely does not approve.

I didn’t know women were even allowed to initiate a divorce in Saudi Arabia. Also it surprises me that any Saudi court would side with a woman over a man. I suspect the woman’s [male] driver was the one who would have had to say he wasn’t driving the car and she was not in it. I also would have expected the court to blame the woman because she somehow inflamed her soon to be ex so much that he couldn’t control himself when he took her car and committed all those violations. In Islam, any conflict between an man and a woman always seems to be the woman’s fault.

Surprised the primitives didn’t have her hands cut off to prevent driving.

How do you accumulate 375 traffic offenses and never get pulled over to identify the driver? Sounds like CNN isn’t the only purveyor of fake news - maybe this is meant to soften the Saudis’ image.
