RIYAHD - A Saudi woman has filed for divorce after casually discovering that her husband nicknamed her "Guantánamo" on his cellular telephone, the daily Al Watan reported.
According to the newspaper, the 30-year-old woman who lives in the western city of Jeddah called her husband on his cell phone. He had left it at home, and that is how the woman discovered that, when identifying the call, the name "Guantánamo" appeared on the screen.
The furious woman immediately began divorce proceedings assuming that, being given that nickname, her husband was considering her a tyrannical and oppressive person and, given the circumstances, she could not continue living with him after 17 years of marriage.
The Guantánamo concentration camp (sic) administered by the United States Army at its base on the island of Cuba has become a symbol of the abuses of the "war on terror" George W. Bush initiated after the September 11 attacks.
The United States announced in June the transfer of three Saudi prisoners from Guantánamo to their native country. U.S. President Barack Obama has announced the upcoming closing of the camp.
Her actions prove him correct.
Obviously the old man misread her.
She's really a pussycat.
the 30-year-old woman ....she could not continue living with him after 17 years of marriage.
Hmmm, 30 minus 17 equals jailbait, unless you're in the Middle East.
The truth hurts! LOL
IOW, she was forced into marriage with him when she was 13. She finally found a way out under their so called "law".
Nice folks. Wonder how many other wives he has?
He's lucky he didn't wake up with certain essential parts missing.
Yup, when I was 30 I only had 12 years of marriage under my belt!
Hold on , it's the War Dept."
Husband: Terms of endearment come in all forms. Come on honey, have a sense of humor.
It could have been worse. He could have nicknamed her Kandahar (city known for its homosexual perversion) or San Francisco.
LOL. My Dad used to say that too. And sometimes he would answer the phone with "County Morgue ... You stab them and we slab them"
There’s a lot more going on in that marriage than meets the eye.
Maybe he finally lifted the veil and saw what was underneath.
She probably has signed her own death warrant!
Most excellent!
Well done Abdul, you lucky man!
