Wife Picks Second Wife for Her Husband
Emirates 24/7 ^ | Wednesday, December 05, 2012

Posted on 12/05/2012 10:23:23 PM PST by nickcarraway

A Saudi man who wanted to marry again had hesitated many times before throwing the bombshell at his wife, a school teacher. Instead of hurling the bomb back at him, the wife welcomed the idea on one condition—she has to pick the new wife.

The unnamed husband has hardly overcome that pleasant shock when his wife gave him another shock—she has selected one of her school girls as his second wife.

The husband quickly agreed and before he started to thank his wife, she had a third nice bombshell in store for him—she offered to pay all his wedding expenses.

“The man married the school girl, who now shares her former teacher one husband,” Sabq daily said in a report from the southern province of Jazan.

“The first wife insisted on bearing all wedding expenses as a gift for her husband in response to all women who are against polygamy.”

Islam allows men to have four wives at a time but women can have one husband at the same time. Polygamy became widespread in the Arabian Peninsula following the discovery of oil which turned the desert region into one of the richest areas.

Obviously she has a girl friend .

If you want a threesome you might as well have some say in who it is with.

They can marry at 9, but cannot consummate until the age of puberty (I would assume first period).

Still weird, but I guess it makes sense to them...

what is the first wife up to?

Judging by what I saw during my time in the Emirates, she's probably tired of the fat old bastard with bad breath and B.O. on top of her a for a couple minutes every night. Plus, she has someone else to do the dishes and scrub the bathroom (which are nasty in the Arab world).

Hubby and I escalate to heights of ridiculousness and start laughing at each other when we bicker.

We have never had a mean-hearted argument in our entire (coming up on) 40 years of knowing each other.

He is an exceedingly nice and gentle man, and I can take little to no credit for our happy relationship.

Okay... what is the first wife up to?

My thoughts exactly. Something's got to be going on there.

40 years, Congratulations to you both!

I know what you mean about gentle-person.

I swear on my life and The Holy Bible that in 12 years of marriage, my wife, except for maybe one time, has never called me any bad name. At least not out loud - LoL!

Except for maybe one time when ten years ago when we were in a car and *I think* she might have called me a jerk, because I said some music she liked was crap. But I was busy driving and it wasn’t till later that I wondered if she did in fact call me a jerk.

Periodically, to this day, we’ll be sitting quietly and I’ll look at her and think - “you called me a jerk, didn’t you?... Sure did sound like it... Wasn’t anyone else sitting in the car...”

I never asked her because because that would ruin it.

Yep. Known him for almost 40 (January 31), married to him for over 33 (November 3).

I suppose it’s not so bad if your dear wife called you a jerk just the once. [smiles]

That's because you weren't married to my (ex)wife!

>>> First wife paying for all expenses... Sounds like hubby is great in bed ;D!

Hah!

Considering that ‘culture,’ it’s gotta stink on ice to be a wife. Even worse not being first-wife, LOL. He’s old, fat, layered in b.o. and creased robes, and soon as he’s used you to pleasure himself, ya gotta get up & warsh them smelly rags. The first-wife’s, too.

Polygamy was one way to cope in the days when poverty meant starvation for single unmarried women.

I'm going to think that many women like the system, for two reasons.

(1) If your choices are limited to sharing a rich man, or having a poor man all to yourself, many women will prefer sharing the rich man.

(2) Increased competition for desirable women means that most women will find a suitable man.

I guess if you have to share your spouse with somebody, it’s better to be able to pick out someone you can live with.

I'm going to guess that the first wife is bi, and was already having an affair with the girl in question.

>>“Anyone interested here in how old this “school girl” is?”

Sadly, I think she only has to be 8 years old...

But those child brides have the opportunity to divorce their husbands at age 13, provided their families don't kill them to protect their honor.
