Joke Pushes Man to Marry Again
Emirates 24/7 ^ | Thursday, June 26, 2014

A married young Saudi man attending his sister’s wedding accepted a bet by friends and jokingly asked a man at the party to let him marry his daughter.

To his shock, the man quickly agreed and called a Maazoun (marriage performer) to finalize the contract as friends stared in disbelief.

“The young man then said he was joking and that he does not have money to pay dowry…but the man told him he would let him marry his daughter even for SRone,” the Arabic language daily Jazan News said in a report from the southern Jazan province.

“The young man then got married again and his friends lost the bet…he managed to overcome his shock but his first wife got a shock.”

The fact that the bride’s father was in such a hurry to be rid of her does not bode well.

She must be a real catch.

“The fact that the bride’s father was in such a hurry to be rid of her does not bode well.”

Or maybe she’s just too old to find a husband. Once you turn 14 it gets tough.

A traveling salesman, a farmer with three daughters, and a chicken walk into a wedding with an open bar...

“a wedding with an open bar”

But that’s the funny part. You can’t drink in Muslim countries. All this happened stone cold sober!

He wasn’t a guest at the wedding. The correct term is, “mark.”

Absurd. How can you have a “hold muh beer and watch this” moment in a country where beer is illegal?
