The Saudi woman who wants a divorce - because her husband tried to sneak one look at her face after 30 years of marriage

After 30 years of marriage, cynics might say most husbands and wives would have seen quite enough of each other, thank you very much.
But not in the case of one Saudi Arabian man who managed to live with his wife for three decades without setting eyes on her face.
Not that he had much choice about it. His 50-year-old wife followed the tradition of her native village near the south-western city of Khamis Mushayt and kept her features veiled at all times.
Until one night last month, that is, when the husband was finally overcome by curiosity and tried to lift his wife's veil as she slept to take a look at her face.
It was an error he is unlikely to be given a chance to repeat for his outraged wife woke up during his sneak peek and is now demanding a divorce.

So, what do they do for "light relief"? Get copies of "washhouse manager", or do they think a pile of dirty washing in a bin bag is like some sort of S&M? Get REALLY turned on by the sight of a full coat rack maybe?

C'mon Terrywit, I am sure you can come up with some.

It was his scream of horror that woke her, and thats why she took umbrage.


But seriously......I honestly think this sort of story is propoganda.

Muslim women are not forbidden to show their faces to their spouses, even the ones who wear the full black paraphernalia outside of the home don't keep it on when with the family.

Actually there's nothing in Islam says they have to hide their faces either and Mohammed actually said that the only things which a stranger should see should be the hands and face. He never said anything about hiding the face.

Obvious what made the marriage work for so long.

Many Islamic countries such as Saudi Arabia and Iran require women to cover their faces in public but in the privacy of their homes there is no such compulsion.

But always remaining veiled - even in front of your husband - is not an Islamic practice, but a very old tradition practised by a tiny minority of women in remote areas of Gulf countries.

Most examples of it are in Saudi, one of the most conservative of countries.
