She just wanted to bring him a meal from Al Baik.
In one of the most bizarre divorce cases to be reported in Saudi Arabia, a man recently divorced his wife because she left home to get a surprise meal for him on his birthday.
According to Ain Al Youm, the woman went to popular Saudi restaurant Al Baik, in Al Kherj governorate, to pick up her husband's favorite meal after she'd set up everything to surprise him at home.
Speaking to the local news site, a social worker who handled the case, explained that when the wife was on her way back from the restaurant, the taxi she was in broke down.
Her husband then arrived home before she did and was angered when he couldn't find her.
The moment she arrived back home, the man drove his wife to her parents' house and told them he was divorcing her.
The social worker added that the woman was a newlywed when the incident took place.
A lot of Muslim marriages last about 24-hrs. Because they can’t have sex unless they’re married. This case may not be one of those, but it sounds like he got what he wanted, and then found an excuse to dump her.
This should be made into an ad for Uber.
That is a Shia practice not Sunni.
She’ll probably be flogged.
He was just waiting for an excuse.
A man of principle.
I had caught wind my wife was going to throw me a surprise 30th birthday. She knew I hated celebrating my birthdays much less having a surprise one where I’d have to sit and smile with people she thought I wanted to hang out with.
When I came through the door and saw about 25 people already half drunk I turned around and left....... For 3 days.
Not long after we agreed to a mutually beneficial divorce.
I get not wanting a surprise party
Muslims are F.........
Wow
Would you still be married otherwise?
So you were looking for an excuse to divorce. :-)
He didn’t believe her story.
Yeah. I am sure there was nothing else going on there.
She was a lucky woman.
I feel the same way. I would hate a surprise party.
dude that sounds messed up- on your part.
wow, you must be the “life of the party” everywhere you go....
Who was more surprised - the man,
his wife,
or liberals everywhere?
He’s divorcing her for leaving the house without permission, disobedience.
Men in Saudi Arabia can get divorced by filling out a post card.
Women on the other hand have to go through the equivalent of ten Catholic annulments.
