Dear Non-Arab, Non-Muslim friends...I'm starting this to show you some of the many things that make me scorn (...........) you know what I mean. I'll start from the most recent thingie:

Saudi Divorces Wife for Watching Man on TV?
Khaleej Times runs this strange little piece, an Agence France Press story taken from the Saudi daily Al-Shams. Seems to me that the guy was looking for a reason to divorce his wife and came up with a doozy. It is a fact, though, that Saudi men can divorce their wives at will while women must go through the courts.
Saudi divorces wife for watching male TV host
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.
