Son Loses to Father in Runup to Marry Maid
| Another peek into the continuing soap opera that is Saudi Arabia: |
A father and his son are rivals for the heart of an Indonesian maid, Al-Watan reported.
| No doubt a nubile young wench. |
| Is she the one with the fire in her eyes? |
Maher, 33, had told his father, a 67-year-old retiree, he wanted to marry the maid, and the father went to see the woman to âbless the marriage,â the paper said. But when the father saw the woman he decided to marry her himself and told Maher he opposed the match.
| "She's not good enough for you, son, but she's got something I need." |
The ensuing standoff between father and son escalated to the point where relatives had to intervene, and they proposed letting the woman choose.
| Ya sure this is Saudi? Letting the wimmin folk have a choice, that's gotta be unislamic. |
âSurprisingly, she chose to marry the father,â the paper said.
| It certainly says something about Sonny. |
