23 August 2007Uncommon groundsDon't get me wrong: irreconcilable differences do exist. But this strikes me as a tad extreme:
A Saudi man divorced his wife because she gave a plate of spaghetti to their neighbor.
According to a local newspaper report the husband found out his wife dared to give away food to a non-family member when the neighbor came to return the plate. Angry about the gross infraction of house rules, the man took the plate and reportedly broke it over his wife's head. After assaulting his wife with a piece of flatware, the husband declared an end to their 8-year marriage. A Madinah court recently finalized the divorce. Geez. It's a good thing she didn't ask for a Wii. Posted at 6:55 AM to Table for OneDoes this story tell us how crazy the husband was, or how crazy Wasabi Islam is? Yeah, I know it's Wahabi or something like. Posted by: gerry rosser at 9:21 AM on 23 August 2007After assaulting his wife with a piece of flatware... "Fork you!" he shouted. There is, I understand, no spoon. Posted by: CGHill at 1:04 PM on 23 August 2007Ah, you shoulda seen Ralph Kramden once the cameras were off. Posted by: Mister Snitch! at 10:14 PM on 23 August 2007 |
