Three Wives Attempt Suicide After Argument
TEHRAN (Reuters) - All three wives of a 67-year-old Iranian man took overdoses in an unsuccessful triple suicide attempt after the youngest wife bought an expensive pair of boots, a news agency reported on Sunday.
"My two other wives were very jealous after my 27-year-old wife bought a pair of boots for $450," the husband was quoted as saying by the ISNA student news agency.
"After they had an argument about the price, they all attempted suicide together," he added.
All three women, now in stable condition in the hospital, have separate apartments and cars.
Men in Iran, where Islamic law has been in force since 1979, can marry up to four wives, although polygamy is fairly rare.
Desperate Housewives.
Well, I guess at over $400 they weren't army boots.
It's too hard to know where to begin with this one...
Pain, torture, agony.
Who's going to notice anybody's freakin' boots?
Somehow I don't think it was the boots. It was probably more like the fact that the 67 year-old goat had a 27 year-old 'youngest' wife. It would be informative to know the ages of the other two wives.
Allowing 4 wives has an upside. Instead of divorcing, a pair stays married and both continue to have formal familial obligations.
I love these parody stories.
After reading this...Bill Clinton was seen buying a turban and a ticket to Iran.
Because fashion is what they DO! The woman hang out all day together in their homes and apartments. It is like a BIG girls party. They do each other's hair, tell stories, eat, drink tea, read magazines, watch movies, gossip, dance, show off their pretty clothes and 18K jewelry.
There is no such thing as dressing frumpy, having a bad hair day or going without make-up. Fashion is a verb for them.
Yeah, I know. I've seen the women get on planes at Kuwait International Airport bound for Europe and as soon as we're airborne, they're taking off the burkhas and chadoors to reveal things I would never go in public wearing...very skimpy, high-fashion stuff.
It's just another sign of their hypocrisy.
Not bloody likely ;)
All the shouting left them a little horse.
To put in the stable :P
Three women could not figure out how to kill themselves? Have they ever heard of jumping off a bridge?
I think this story is too hard to believe. The guy needs to buy his wives knives and instructions.

"OK, sounds good."
The mystery is, how'd they get to the store, since they don't have driver's licenses.
