I read a book by a Saudi Princess back in the 90s. She said the rich have more than one wife, because they can, and the poor might, because if you have very little, it doesn’t take much to pitch an extra tent next to your first one. The middle class is where one wife is enough.

I love the middle class. It gets the morality of an issue right more often than the rich and poor do, if only because immorality is less practical.

Same sex spouses should get divorced in the state in which they married. Marriage is a state law question, and not every state has a law allowing same sex marriage (Thank God).

Finally some common sense (and respect of the rule of law) from the bench!

Looks like this was a state court, which tend to be more sane. Wait until the leftist federal courts get to weigh in.

Well, in my five years in the KSA, there weren't any poor because the King made sure of that. "Poor," of course, depends on perspective.

The King HAS to spread the wealth. If he doesn't HIS OWN FAMILY does him in.
He also gives BILLION$ away every year in charity to poorer countries, both Muslim AND Christian.

As I said, I spoke with ALL the Saudi men I worked with and they ALL have one wife and, with their salaries, could indeed, afford another. But they ALL said: One wife is enough.

I think many folks still cling to the old cliches about the Muslims. They ought to LIVE there to see, hear and SMELL what it's like.

One VERY odd thing: Saudi employees can CHANGE their birth date THREE times. This allows them to work longer, which many of them do.

You aren’t married in the eyes of the state if they don’t recognize your marriage.

Gay bullies in the newsroom need to STFU.
