When is “mother” coming to pay a visit?

In a letter he left her at home, the husband told his wife that he intends to marry again on the grounds Islam permits men to have four wives at a time.

Admittedly I don’t understand the Muslim culture at all, but I don’t see the advantage of having more than one wife.

I grew up in a family with 5 sisters and 2 bothers. I found living in a house with multiple females constantly bickering intolerable.

I can’t for the life of me imagine seeking to add another wife to my household, the rivalry that would ensue would make your life a living H*LL. Mediating arguments between your wives would eat up enormous amounts of time.

Sada said the letter was circulated on social networks but did not mention where in Saudi Arabia the couple lives.

I wonder what evil would befall this man should he be found out.

I would think he would be considered rather less than a manly man for asking for his wife’s approval for bringing a second wife home. And the little warning added by his wife seems to suggest that he does not wear the pants in the family.

This wouldn't work out to well with my wife either.

However, as a husband, I have to ask. One wife is not enough?

You would have to be a glutton for punishment.

Funny, that’s EXACTLY the same answer my wife would give!
