Briton to divorce Bin Laden's son
2007-09-19
The Cheshire grandmother who married Osama Bin Laden's son is divorcing him over fears they will be murdered. Jane Felix-Browne, 51, from Moulton, near Northwich, married Omar Osama Bin Laden, 27, in July, after romance blossomed during a holiday in Egypt. At the time the ex-parish councillor said she married him for love and did not care about his family's background. But she said there were now "two very very serious issues that have threatened our lives and our liberty".

[Binny's] son Omar,
Omar, who Ms Felix-Browne met while horse riding last September, is the Cheshire woman's sixth husband.
who Ms Felix-Browne met while horse riding last September, is the Cheshire woman's sixth husband. He was also on holiday in Egypt when the pair met. A relationship developed and within seven months they were married.

Ms Felix-Browne said on Wednesday that the marriage was not over as far as she was concerned. "We have had to get divorced because of threats from two major sources in Saudi Arabia," she said. "I know from who the threats have come but I'm not prepared to say. The threats are not from the general public, not from the government."

She added: "I have been living with my husband, it is a very happy marriage. We are both deeply in love. Very very happy, did not want to be forced into this divorce. It is against Islam to be forced into any divorce and as far as I am concerned this divorce will never stand up in a Sharia court."

She described her husband as her best friend. "We have an awful lot in common," she said. "We love the deserts. We are both pretty religious. We have a fantastic time. The threats have put an end to my marriage but we will re-marry."

#8  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that if she was going to remarry her true love, she would have had to marry some other unlucky git and divorce him first before they can reattempt wedded bliss.

#5  Delphi,
She could be killed for adultry. In fact she could be arrested if she visited any Muslim country and returned to her husband.

#4  Did she say "I divorce thee" three times. Otherwise in the eyes of the Sharia court, it doesn't count. How does Islam view women with more than one husband if she remarries without this divorce being acknowledged?

#3  "The threats have put an end to my marriage but we will re-marry."

Does this make any logical sense to anyone?

What's to stop the "threats" if they remarry?

#1  The threats are not from the general public, not from the government.

Tooth fairy? Easter bunny? Book publisher?
