Dd you know that a marriage in Saudi Arabia could end just because a husband wanted to see his wife’s face?
That’s what happened in the village of Khamis Mushayt when a man who’d been married to his 50 year old wife for 30 years decided to peek at his wife’s face under her veil as she slept. The man apologized stating he’d never do such a thing again, but she wants a divorce.
The customs of the village dictate that the marriage is now contaminated since he saw her face.
I know these are their customs, but I don’t really blame the man for wanting to have a look at the woman he’d been married to for 30 years. I certainly can’t imagine being married to someone and never seeing their full face.

An Indonesian businessman is complaining that polygamy is not so easy. The businessman’s attempt to make polygamy easier was rejected by the Indonesian constitutional court earlier this year.
Polygamy is legal in Indonesia but according to the countries marriage laws the only way that a man can take a second wife is to have it approved in court. To obtain approval the first wife must agree and either must be disabled or be unable to have children.
The businessman’s attempt to change the policy on Polygamy involved arguing that the conditions listed above effectively prevent polygamy and have caused many men to simply avoid registering their second marriages. Which of course means that children from these unregistered marriages could lose their inheritance rights and other benefits.

Are you love lorn? Don’t have time to get out to clubs and meet people? Well, I found a site for my readers from the UK who are looking for love!
I do know several people who have found love on the Internet. Some of them even ended up marrying. I think it’s a good way for some people to meet. You get a chance to talk to someone online, and then perhaps the phone as you get to know them and while you are doing that a friendship and perhaps even a relationship is developing. In this day and age when people are so busy working, trying to pay all their bills, caring for family – it can be hard to make time to find people to date. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with using an online dating service. It works well for some!
The service I found is called Loopy Love. The front page states that it’s the Uk’s first free online singles dating service. their members seem to have been successful in finding a match because the site says that there are two or three marriages every week! You might not be looking for marriage, but it’s nice to know that they are helping people match up.
The Loopy love site is easy to use. Just register, fill in some information about yourself, tell them who your ideal date is, and how far you are willing to travel to meet your match. It’s as easy as that. Give it a try if you want some help finding your perfect mate.
