Islam marriage problem?

[sharonbn]

Man's wives have no sense of humor

RIYADH (Reuters) - A Saudi man lost a bit of his nose in a joint assault by his two wives after he jokingly threatened to marry a third woman.

Judaie Ibn Salem had thought his threat would help resolve an argument over dividing up his house.

"I swore that I would do it because ... they were impolite and that's when I came under an even bigger attack," Ibn Salem told Shams newspaper after having seven stitches inserted.

"I never realized they would get so worked up. But the only way to restore my dignity is really to take a third wife.

"I don't know what I'm going to lose next if I do that."

Islamic law allows men to take up to four wives and polygamy is not unusual in the conservative kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Islam.

:rotfl: ... Aww .. poor man lol ...

[Eemaan]

i dont think hes going to find a third wife with only half a nose on offer :(

[Kal-El]

If they were impolite and rude - divorce them and marry someone who will treat you right.

they should have expected that when their man marries the second then the tendency of completing the full quota is a big possibility. well it's Saudi Arabia we are talking here:o.

:rofl1: I can't believe he told the story. If I were a man, that would have remained a secret. LOL

the sisters should be ashamed of themselves though, they should not have attacked him :rofl1:

I think the wives took the Urdu phrase "naak kat gai" a bit too literally:wacko:

[summer786]

at least the wives found some common ground to get along on

i shouldnt really be looking at the bright side with this kinda story though

[Khubaib]

Careful not to backbite/slander everyone!

[neelu]

It's strange how when the wife hits her husband, it's seen as a joke (broken nose is no joke) but if the husband hits his wife, it's considered to be abuse (which it is) and he's looked down upon. This links in to Quests "sometimes its the wife who starts the abuse" thread.

[miss-islamic]

I’ve read a story like that before but it was even more extreme…like um killing????
Some women backhome do this magic kind of thingy to stop their husband from marrying again. Its pretty sad.

"I don't know what I'm going to lose next if I do that."
I do. :rolleyes:
