Man forced to marry four wives in six months
2006-02-03
A Saudi man is in hospital after his divorced parents forced him to marry four times within six months. The battle began when the father insisted the boy should marry a cousin girl from his side of the family. The mother retaliated by ordering him to wed a cousin girl from her side, reports Arab News quoting Al-Watan daily. But the father wasn't happy with the balance of power and insisted on a third cousin wife from his side, to show who was boss. The mother, not to be outdone, then demanded that her son include another cousin wife from her side of the family.

The son has now been admitted to a hospital for psychological treatment. He is refusing to see his parents or his wives.
"I've decided to become a homosexual orphan."
How many first cousins does he have, anyway?

He seems pretty rational to me.

#4  The nightmare of four wives. There is a reason we only marry one person, more than that would drive one to insanity!

Genetically, that would be pretty much the entire population.
