Son’s bid to marry was rejected
A Saudi father who accompanied his son for a planned marriage, himself married after the son’s plan bogged down, a newspaper reported on Wednesday.
The father went with his son to the would-be bride’s home but the girl’s mother rejected the proposal on the grounds she wants her elder daughter to marry first.
“The son was mad and stormed out of that house. His father stayed behind and asked to marry the elder daughter. Her mother quickly agreed,” Sada newspaper said in a report from the Southern Saudi province of Jazan.

For some reason, “Playburka” might me laugh out loud. I’m imagining a guy on a camel unfolding the centerfold and admiring the thread count.

That would make the younger daughter both the daughter-in-law AND sister-in-law of the father.

The son was mad and stormed out of that house.
Was he crying and flouncing his robe?

Or was hoping for a two for one deal, because the older girl’s prospects are dwindling.

The older daughter aged 12 was ecstatic at the news she would wed a middle aged groom. :-)
