Mother wins the groom!
2005-08-14
JEDDAH — A mother and her 17-year-old daughter fought over a groom, with the former winning the argument and the young man.
Lucky for both of them that the woman's 9-year old didn't intervene.
The quarrel started between the mother and the daughter after a young man came to ask for the daughter’s hand in marriage and later changed his mind in favour of the mother instead, according to a report in Al Madinah Arabic daily on Thursday.

When he sat “interviewing” her, he was so impressed by the beauty of the mother that he immediately changed his mind and asked the mother for her hand in marriage. The daughter got upset and demanded that her mother refuse the man because he had originally come for her. The mother, however, told her daughter to look for someone else.
"Take a jump, missy, he's mine!"

#8  Quite likely the mother's clan is more powerful or better connected than the daughter's deceased father's clan.

#7  Didn't Jack Nicholson end up with Diane Keaton instead of Amanda Peet with a story very similar to this on "Something's Gotta Give".
This happened in real life? wow.

I thought women there were supposed to be covered up in the presence of non-family males?
