Wife divorced for watching male TV host [Saudi Arabia]
Times of India ^ | Sept 29, 2007

RIYADH: A Saudi man divorced his wife for watching alone a television programme presented by a male, an act he deemed immoral, the Al Shams newspaper reported on Saturday.

The man, whom the paper did not identify, ended his marriage on the grounds his wife was effectively alone with an unrelated man, which is forbidden under the strict Islamic law enforced in the ultra-conservative kingdom, the paper said.

Men in Saudi Arabia have the authority to divorce their wives without resort to the courts.

Is it a wonder that these towel heads haven’t contributed anything positive to society in over a thousand years?

Shouldn’t the appropriate Saudi TV executive be beheaded, or something?

Can we do the same for American women who watch Oprah or Dr. Phil?

I would. Better to live alone in a corner of a roof than with one of the self-absorbed "modern women."

Anyway, what is our Saudi sister complaining about? I think she is better off to be rid of an idiot for a husband.

She's lucky this nitwit never realized that television signal was broadcast right through her body meaning that the unrelated male was effectively violating her body.

Hey, every woman in Saudi Arabia has had similar signals broadcast through her body. Every Saudi male is a cuckold!!

Does any body else see it this way? These idiots have institutionalized jealous husbands. There are laws written to abet jealousy. What a bunch of candy a$$ losers.

How did they get that little man in that little box?

They're probably afraid cameras will steal their souls too.

I would get in trouble for watching Katie Couric, but that actually doesn’t bother me.
