Saudi man marries four women from same school including student
A Saudi Arabian man in his 50′s has taken the
concept of having four wives to the extreme. He has married a student,
her teacher, the school principal and school supervisor.
Al Arabiya reported
on the unusual marital preferences of the unnamed Saudi man that has
opted to marry four females representing the hierarchical order of a
school. The age of the student was not reported, but she must answer to
her teacher who in turn is answerable to the principal. The fourth wife
oversees the school as a supervisor.
The teacher revealed that “the way she interacts with her
husband’s wives at work is ‘no different’ to how she treats other
students and superiors.”
According to the
IB Times the marriages have raised eyebrows within the school. Schoolgirls have made the marriages a regular talking point.
Polygamy is culturally acceptable within Islam though women are
denied the choice of taking four husbands. In 2010 a Saudi group of men
initiated a campaign to
encourage their fellow compatriots to take four wives in keeping with
the Islamic edict. The campaign aimed to reduce the number of spinsters
in the Kingdom.
