"Yeah, that's her. I'd know her anywhere. Put a bag on the car so I can identify it."

…Until Her Veil Was Put Back Over Her Face
A Saudi man could not identify his wife after a fatal car accident without her veil on. He’d never seen her face. Emirates 24 reported, via Jihad Watch:
After nearly 10 years of marriage that produced five children, Mufleh Mohammed of Saudi Arabia still has not seen his wife’s face.Mohammed Hilal, another Saudi husband, could not identify his wife who was killed in a road crash until her veil was put back on her face.
Mufleh and Mohammed are among many Saudi men who have never seen the face of their wives as they insist on sticking to ancient tradition of keeping their face covered even in front of their relatives or husbands in defiance of ongoing changes brought about by the advent of oil and a massive foreign influx.
In a report on such habits, the Saudi Arabic language daily Alhayat said many women in the conservative Gulf Kingdom that controls nearly a quarter of the world’s oil still defy the winds of change and stick to their ancestors’ traditions.
Even after they get married, they never remove their burqu (face veil), leaving their husbands guessing how they look like. Mufleh is one of those husbands.
“My wife still keeps her face covered all the time even in front of her family and relatives because she has been accustomed to this since she was a child…I have to respect her wishes and not insist on seeing her face,” he said.
Alhayat said Mohammed was another one among many Saudi husbands who are deprived from seeing the face of their wives.
“I could not identify my wife after she was killed in a road accidents…I asked security women to put the veil back on her face…after they did so, I recognized her and indentified the dead person as my wife,” he said.
What a wonderful way to live.
Why didn’t the man simply marry a tree with a proper knot hole?
That’s sick and developmentally immature. Not to mention stupid.
Because he pined for something more.
Tamed like animals from childhood. Oh well, she still put out the babies. I’m sure that’s all that counts.
She probably would have lived if he didn’t believe that women should ride in the trunk.
He never cedar face.
.....GROAN.....
Women depersonalized. If you think about it, for humans, in a real sense, our face is who we are. In this culture, women are nobody. And they want it that way?
If she was so bound to ancient tradition, how was she killed in a CAR CRASH?
LOL!
I think I may know her ,,, years ago though
lol. Maybe they like identifying their wife by Braille...
“Why didn’t the man simply marry a tree with a proper knot hole?”
Diggum check for bees!
Bravo Sierra!
I don't know what species Muslims are, but it isn't human.
Good thing that she isn’t wearing cammo gloves. She would pass for anyone.
They can’t beat anybody except their wives and they can’t
produce anythig but death!
