JEDDAH, 22 November 2005 — A woman demanded from a man who asked her hand in marriage to memorize the holy Qur’an as a condition of accepting to marry him, Al-Watan reported. The 21-year-old woman said that she is not interested in money as much as she is interested in a good religious husband. The woman said that she would hold a test in which she will ask them to recite the Qur’an without a mistake.

"The woman said that she would hold a test in which she will ask them to recite the Qur’an without a mistake."

I wonder how long that takes - I wonder if it's as long as the bible?

There are people who study the bible their whole lives and couldn't recite it without a mistake - maybe she doesn't want to get married.

There are alot of strange ducks in Allah's pond.

That lady is bossy wife material.

Mind you, she has a point, and I am sure that some champion reciter will end up in a happy union. Men with bossy wives often seem quite happy, once they have made the adjustment.

I hope she has a vibrator for those lonely nights.

...explosive temper and belt.

She's gonna make a GREAT mother-in-law some day...

I wonder if he'll have a sh*t-eating grin when he recites this part:

[4.34] Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.

Per your request.

[JennysCool]

I want a partner at home. I've got a boss at work and one's quite enough!

[indcons]

She is a knockout though.....see pictures below (third from left).

[SouthernFreebird]

Jeez and all I asked for was to keep the seat down.

[gg188]

She must be a masochist. What happens when he gets to the part about beating your wife silly for yuks?

[neodad]

Gives new meaning to "camel toe"

[dighton]

Memorization, of whatever you like, is well and good and not enough.

[indcons]

Oops...my bad.
