Wife reports husband to court to prevent his second marriage
When a Saudi woman threatened to report her husband’s pre-marriage affairs to stop him from having a second wife, he simply called her bluff, apparently not expecting punishment for teenage sexual adventures. He was wrong.
After seeing tapes showing him in obscene acts with women in other countries before his marriage, a court sentenced him to nine months in jail and ordered him lashed 100 times in public. Instead of feeling triumphant, the wife regretted it.
The unnamed husband was preparing to travel to another Arab country to get married again when his wife stumbled across photographs and films showing him in obscene acts with prostitutes outside Saudi Arabia.
When he rebuffed her pleas not to travel and have a second wife, she handed the pictures and films to the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, Saudi Arabia’s feared Islamic police.
“When the judge saw the pictures, he ordered the arrest of the man just before his travel…the man told court that those films were shot when he was young before his marriage,” the Arabic language daily Alsaudeh said.
“But the judge sentenced him to nine months in prison and ordered him lashed 100 times…although she deprived him from his honey moon in a new marriage, his wife said she made a big mistake by reporting him as he has been nice to her…but she admitted that she did this to stop him from marrying again.”
The paper said the court also fined the husband SR9,000 (Dh8,900) and ordered all the tapes destroyed. It did not say where the man lives in Saudi Arabia.
And these are the ‘moderate’ Muslims.
Did he tape all of his obscene acts? He sounds like he is in love with himself.
Well, I guess its nice to see a gander get a little sauce.
“I divorce you”
“I divorce you”
“I divorce you”
and the Left thinks Baptist preachers in the South are scary...
I don’t think that the wife is going to be too happy once he gets out of jail. Pay back will be a b#^$% as they say and I can almost guarantee that he’ll give her plenty of payback. That said he’s an idiot for having taped what amounts to “moral crimes” in Saudi Arabia as the moral enforcers there have real police powers unlike the moral majority here in the US so he’s lucky to get away with such a light sentence, if he survives the 100 lashes that is.
100 lashes. Is that a death sentence?
>>100 lashes. Is that a death sentence?
Maybe they give him one a day.
Providing he get's out of jail. 100 lashes can be a death sentence, depending on how they are delivered.
