Riyadh, September 29: A Saudi man divorced his wife for watching alone a television programme presented by a male, an act he deemed immoral.

The man 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 Al Shams newspaper reported on Saturday.

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

This is the height of stupidity!!!!!!!!!!!!!It is obvious that the man did not like his wife and therefore found an excuse to dump her!!

The lady should be happy. Good riddance. Problem of MCP, unfortunately, also afflicts our Hindu society. The only solution is the best possible for girls and more affinity between women themselves. Jai Hind!

Shocking ! by Sharad C. Misra on 30 Sep 2007

That means that there is little difference between the Wahabbi Muslims of Saudi Arabia and Taliban. It is a clear case of violation of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Hunan Rights. What is the UN doing about it ? America, of course, values its own security interests and assured oil supply has chosen to turn a Nelson's eye to the primitive culture of male chauvinism.

Divorce of Saudi Woman by Sabu on 30 Sep 2007

Who told Saudis are real Muslims. Like all people they have their own indecencies. They have their own perceptions. And all is not allowed in Shariah Law. Shariah Law is Gods Law and it does not allow a Man to Divorce the woman as he wants. There is some regulations and rules which has to be followed. And do not put this act of irrogance in Islam.Why, there are Sati which is inhumane, which is abolished. And many Hindus attach to this act. Why nobody has tears for this. How many children is sacrificed in India in the name of Pujas.Here some misguided fanatics roll their tongue only aganist Muslims.Islam is the Relegion of Peace.

This case reveals sheer hypocrisy of the Muslim men all over the world. The hotels and residences of Indian and world cities are full of tens of thousands of Arabs from the Middle East and Muslims from elsewhere who have gone there to do nothing but pick up local women and prostitutes for sex yet there is no Sharia law being applied or enforced on them. If the Sharia or Allah's laws were applied to all Muslim men living on this earth, half of the world's Muslim population would be dead by now by either having been stoned to death or by being castrated or beheaded alive by Muslim women.
