Saudi man announces divorce at mall
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Jan. 1 A husband at a Saudi Arabian shopping mall announced over a microphone that he was divorcing his wife after a young man gave her his phone number.
The husband said he witnessed his wife receive a slip of paper from a young man after he had separated from her and the couple's three children to shop at different stores, Alarabiya.net reported Tuesday.
He confronted his wife about the exchange and demanded to see the paper, which she refused. He grabbed her purse by force and saw the paper with the man's number written on it.
The husband then approached a cashier and asked to use the microphone.
"To all those present and all the shoppers. Please listen to me. I want you to bear witness to what I say," the man said. He announced he was divorcing his wife irreversibly and they are barred from reconciliation by Islamic law.
The man then drove away from the mall, leaving his wife and children behind.

Some of the replies are obvious idiots who really dont get the big picture, some have more common sense in the mattter. I like the one which says the wife is not free to marry a "real" man. Love that one. The husband obviously thinks his marriage is of no value or worth fighting for. Something I have noticed recently with the divorce rates being soo high amongst Muslims there seems to be no stigma attached to it nowadays. Its like changing your shoes, its that easy, where is the value of marriage? This note passing business is pretty common in SA society and maybe she took the note because she didnt know what to do with the guy shoving a piece of paper in her hand. Dosent mean she is going to call the guy does it? Good luck to her and her kids I hope she has a happier and better life without the idiot. And leaving his kids behind - what a bastard. _________________ "One day these people will be our slaves." As said by a British Muslim woman in the 1970's. |

another cruel male from the "sexually insecure ranks of the cult" where he obviously has no love or concern for his children and the humiliation he would cause to them either......but this is islam, utterly obsessed about ownership and control of women, and yet this very male could have 3 extra wives if he wanted to and keep rotating them for replacement models.
poor little submissive slave to this imaginary allah! |

It was stupid for him to cause humiliation for his children. But I don't blame him for divorcing that b!tch. Who wants a cheating wife? (or a husband for that matter).
It is not about Islam. I am as anti Islamic as you can get and I despise the lax morality of the westerners. I find the western hedonism disgusting and repulsive. _________________ Don't be a follower, but a prophet unto your own. |

purleeze anp......what a ridiculous statement to make, as is your "taught" perception that any non muslim or non believer must be automically immoral.
What "ease" islam gives him to divorce his wife and mother of his children.......and if he had any respect at all for either of them, (a) he would talk with his wife first, and (b) most certainly would not shame and humiliate his children like he did.
"lax morality" of the west Ali Sina......perhaps it depends on where you live!!!! People I know are very moral in their lives and business dealings, having respect for themselves, their spouse/partners and their children. |

I'll be upset too if my wife did this to me. If the man's wife was being truthful, she wouldn't have tried hiding the paper from him.
But at least he should have tried reasoning with her before deciding on the divorce. And he could have done it in private, not through a microphone. _________________ Islamism is the virtue of the vicious.

What is there to reason? She is caught red handed and that is the end of the marriage as far as I am concerned. It is she who should have talked to him if there was a problem in their marriage and demanded divorce before cheating on him.
As far as doing it in public, I also understand. He was too hurt to be rational about it. I am a private person and do not like scandal. So my nature tells me to keep such things quite. He obviously has a different nature and I do not blame him a bit.
Hell, when I am with a woman, all other women become asexual to me. I cannot understand what goes in the mind of people who cheat on their spouses. How can they do it? _________________ Don't be a follower, but a prophet unto your own. |

Nothing to with Islam.
In america and europe they use e-mails and sms just to divorce:P
This is just very original and funny.
And a serieus reaction:The women could just ripe the paper and throw it away but didnt which means that the she was interested.
And that would have been worse  |

Why are people ASSuming that she took the number for the sake of adultery? What if she was looking to get out of Islam and this guy was going to help her -- that would also be a reason to not give the number, too.
The article didn't say WHY she refused. Pretending adulterous interest would have freed her, especially given the husband's quick temper -- but admiting to want to leave Islam would have gotten her killed. _________________ "Relax, and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10.

yassine......who on earth "told" you that people can divorce just by email and sms......again, you have been lied to!!!
divorce is a legal procedure......and lengthy, and quite unlike in islam where a male only has to say the words x 3 times!!! And WHY is it that muslim males have no concern about the ease for males to get out of marriage and into another, but their women don't.
and you dont know the background of this woman or why she would put the paper in her purse.......questions you might ask yourself are
1. might she have been in a abusive marriage, where the husband "beat" her
2. could she have been married from age 9, without "informed" consent and in a loveless marriage
3. might she have needed help!!!
4. he may also have had 3 other wives, and we know how muslim women feel so degraded and humiliated with this nonsense which makes a mockery of marriage and fidelity
and after all, she might be bound by backward islamic laws, but likely never ever had the choice but to be muslim or not either. |

My goodness! When did taking a phone number equate to cheating? Ali, what is your definition of 'cheating'?

Oh okay, so its perfectly fine to give men the ability to dump their wives in a shopping centre because of their FEAR? What about trying to sort things out? Why didn't he talk to her about it at all? Ali, do you think there are only two extremes?
Did anyone stop to think that this woman may have known her husband and how he would have reacted and this is why she refused? We don't know how the "number" was given to her. Was it shoved in her hand? Did the other guy 'chat her up' before handing it over? We don't know! However, her husband WAS watchig her, and if she has fear of him at all, she couldn't just scrunch and dump on the floor because he would pick it up, so, if I were in this situation I would have dumped out of sight and then dumped it in the bin later (thankfully I am NOT in this awful situation).
Anyone of you ever think about that? Mr. "hawk eyes" was watching her and we don't know WHAT her intentions were. My God, I'm so angry with the idiots who agree with this despicable DESPICABLE actions.
Anyone who agrees with APPALLING behaviour like this deserves not to even HAVE a wife. Wives are not 'disposable commodities' that you can throw away with a public pronouncement or three words. This IS about Islam and anyone who says it isn't is truly an idiot. Tell me, if my husband did this in the west, would the divorce be granted (with no other actions)? NO. If he wanted me back, would I have to go whore myself to some other man to make it 'legal'? NO. Therefore his prouncement, even if only 'hot headed' has REAL implications for this woman all because of HIS insecurities.
There but by the extra "X" chromosome go I (thank the Gods)

I think it is a serious problem in all communities that people cheat.
The reason seems to me is ignorance as to what marriage is all about.
Tribal customs and religious norms are to be blamed for the culture of cheating. Tribal and religious men have been marrying many women for children rather than love. These people did not know what love was all about. This is the main reason men have been beating up their wives and had been treating them like animals because these men were animals themselves.
However as we develop and educate ourselves, we will come to realise that marriage should be first and foremost for love and thereafter for children. If two people really love each other, they can never cheat on each other and the children they will bring up will be an asset for the human community. Tribals and religious people have been bringing up children for fighting battles to dominate each other. Had they really loved their wives and children, wars would not have occurred.
This is due to the fact that you do not like to see those people hurt whom you love.
Let us hope things will change for the better as we learn more about life. _________________ All the best from Mughal at http://www.religionandsecularism.gq.nu/favorite_links.html |

| Ali Sina: Adultery is not something that is seen as normal and acceptable in the West. It is one of legal grounds for divorce, but the procedure is kinda different and only one for both - men and women. |
