“Desperate to Marry” Saudi Woman Offers SR5 Million to Find Mr. Right

How much will you pay to land Mr. Right? For this Saudi woman, the answer is SR5 million (the equivalent of N208 million). Weird? Yes, but we are talking true love here – can we really put a price on that?

The Saudi woman put the attractive advertisement in the local magazine, Roa, calling on all marriage-ready applicants to write in via email or fax. The announcement neither mentioned the woman’s name, age or whereabouts and the millions do come with strings attached.

She will only reveal the conditions in person, however, the ad explains.

“Applicants should provide their contact number so the woman will contact them in case she agrees on the marriage,” the magazine said.

It quoted the woman as saying: “It does not matter whether the new husband is attracted to my money as the most important thing is that he must appreciate marriage life and marital duties…I am even ready to accept a Misyar marriage [a contractual marriage in which the couple may continue to live separately and meet to satisfy marital duties when they please] and pay him SRfive million at once…he will live with me in my villa and must accept all my conditions which I will reveal to him later.”

According to the magazine the woman is divorced, said to have parted ways with her first husband because he was “greedy and wanted only money”.

“I made the wrong choice first time….I want to make the right choice now…my main obsession now is to marry…I am desperate to marry,” the woman said.

Eighty percents of Misyar relationships end in divorce, a report noted. Let’s hope this “desparate to marry” is lucky the second time around.

That is about $1.3 million in USD.

I was going to ping Laz but he beat me to it

[Noumenon]

And all you have to do is to forward a small fee for ‘expenses’.

[GeronL]

Where is lowbridge?

For every beautiful, expensive woman, there is a man, somewhere, that is tired of her crap.

I'll just stick with single and celibate. ;)

...he will live with me in my villa and must accept all my conditions which I will reveal to him later.”

"Dear Penthouse: I never thought this would happen to me..."

[GeronL]

lol.

She should have created an online form. A 300-question test and a 250-word essay.

“Pick me! I will only beat you once a week, my burka babe!”

[jakerobins]

Not worth it if you have to become a Muzzie! A million to give up Bacon and Bourbon? Sorry I can’t do it.....

“It does not matter whether the new husband is attracted to my money..."

Translation: "I am as ugly as a bucket of armpits."

Caveat emptor.

[I see my hands]

Single girl, single girl,
She's goin' dressed fine,

Oh, goin' dressed fine.


Married girl, married girl,

She wears just any kind,

Oh, wears just any kind.

Yo, Laz:

$1.3 mil for a couple of weeks rolling in the hay (sand) while holding your nose, then a quickie Muslim divorce?

How bad can it be?

Even if she is a two-bagger, it’s still about $5,000 per “stroke.” Think of it as... sort of winning the VD lottery.

Does duty (or your banker) call?

Old saying...

“If you marry for money, you’ll earn every penny.”

[Defiant]

Sounds fine to me. Since it’s in Saudi Arabia, I could keep my current wife, too. What a deal!

[TigersEye]

"...and must accept all my conditions which I will reveal to him later.”

No offense, honey, but 'round here that's called 'buying a pig in a poke.' And that saying has nothing to do with poking a pig. Nor did I bring up pigs to offend your Muslimness. I have no reason here to bring up another common American saying about putting lipstick on a pig either. But if these contract talks continue any further it's bound to come up.

Call me! :-)

She's a Saudi woman who needed to advertise for a husband....I'm picturing at least one giant mole on her face with three, maybe four protruding black hairs; 300 pounds and smells like cumin and goat. I'm also guessing her “terms” which she will reveal later are akin to those of a female praying mantis.

a contractual marriage in which the couple may continue to live separately and meet to satisfy marital duties when they please

Am I the only one here who thinks that sounds an awful lot like a sanctioned version of "friends with benefits"?
