4 times the happiness

A Saudi man is in hospital after his divorced parents forced him to marry four times within six months.

The battle began when the father insisted the boy should marry a girl from his side of the family.

The mother retaliated by ordering him to wed a girl from her side, reports Arab News quoting Al-Watan daily.

But the father wasn't happy with the balance of power and insisted on a third wife from his side, to show who was boss.

The mother, not to be outdone, then demanded that her son include another wife from her side of the family.

The son has now been admitted to a hospital for psychological treatment. He is refusing to see his parents or his wives.

Poor guy- of course he needs psychological treatment- doesn't he know when to put his foot down?

Classic! Thanks- that made me laugh!

LOL, that is such a good metaphor for WHY multiple marriages is a bad idea, amongst others. It's funny at first, but then after the laughter, it's kinda depresssing that that actually happened to some poor soul.

LOL glad you guys found it funny, I feel sorry for the poor chap, and sorry for his wives. But what woman would marry a guy who only got married a month ago? That's beyond me...

Yeah G, maybe he is seeking treatment other than psychological?? Keeping 4 new young wives happy at the same time... I daresay it's not that easy! :^)

OMG :S this is just stupid..how could this guy listened to his sick parents! he is no victim at all, he is just stupid!

Kaza,

Unfortunately, we can only dream... for the time being :^)

Welcome to the club! LOL

I want to marry my boss, for instance. You, on the other hand, might want to marry my husband. Unfortunately, they are already married. It would be so much easier if we could just marry whoever we wanted, whether we (and they) are already married or not... Don't you think?? Nobody would ever cheat, then.

=^..^=

Ahmed,

Maybe he wanted to, in the beginning, but the ladies made his life hell... I suppose they would have. So he escaped to the mental ward!

:^)

Kaza,

I can ask him for you... Actually I just did, and he was like "Who is she?" instead of "Never!" Hmmm.... Makes one think, dunnit? Lol!
