Saudi men can have four wives and divorce by simple repudiation
|
A Saudi Arabian man divorced his new wife immediately after the ceremony over a photograph taken of the couple, according to the Al-Madinah newspaper.
The man became angry after the bride's brother took a photograph
of the newly-weds to keep as a souvenir, the paper reported.
After being dissuaded from hitting his brother-in-law, the man
simply divorced his wife.
Islamic law in force in the kingdom allows Saudi men to have up to four wives.
They are able to divorce by simple
repudiation - even though this must subsequently be formally documented.
