Man escapes alimony after wife admits she's a genie
KHOU ^ | 10-18-2014

Posted on 10/20/2014 1:00:00 PM PDT by Snickering Hound

This story about a divorce in the United Arab Emirates begins in not-so-unusual fashion: A wife refuses to sleep with her husband, and he is not pleased.

Then it gets weird: She tells him to talk to her parents, who explain that their daughter can't have sex with him because she is, in fact, a supernatural creature called a jinn that the BBCequates to a genie. This results in divorce. But if the excuse was a tall tale, the joke's on the ex-wife, because a court in Dubai ruled that she is not entitled to alimony, reports Gulf News.

Reason? She wasn't honest about the genie matter.

I think a different kind of ‘gin’ & bottle may come into play here...

Just to add, it seems lots of the actors ans musicians that become typecast to the role/song that made them famous often resent it. Gary Numan was like that with the “Cars” song. He finially got over it but some never do.

What’s the mating call of a blond?

“I’m soooo drunk!”

What’s the mating call of a brunette?

“All the blonds have left...”

What’s the mating call of a redhead?

“Next.”

Their kids wouldn’t have lived forever, just a really long time.

or worse...the kids would have “stayed home forever!”

Barbara Eden and my mom are around the same age, and they look an awful lot alike.

If they ever turn my life into a movie I want Barbara Eden to play her.

You can pull the audio from a video for an MP3 and use that as the “sounds” when you open computer programs or apps.

“Oh, yes master!”

Sounds like that didn’t quite work out the way she thought it would.

My guess is she wanted out of that marriage with her life, and any reason that worked was acceptable...to hell with the money/alimony.

Per Islamic law, the groom pays the 'bride price'. He paid for and bought her. Now, he returns her, and will get his money back, ie, no alimony.

swive is old term for intercourse and ‘to wive’ is to take a wife.
