16th Husband?!

http://library.thinkquest.org/06aug/00844/images/saudi_weddings.jpg″DAMASCUS, February 4 (RIA Novosti) – A woman from Saudi Arabia who has divorced one husband and outlived another 14 hopes to get married for the 16th time, Syria’s state-run Tishrin newspaper said on Monday.Noora, whose current surname is unclear, said that the reason why practically all of her husbands have been older than 60 is that she has always looked for a rich man who could bear responsibility for the family. At one period in her life, Noora went through 10 husbands in two years. Her first husband, a 60 year-old, died shortly after their wedding and the woman married his friend, who soon died of heart failure. Noora’s third husband was killed in a car accident.

Her fourth husband, who was 55 when they got married, also died from heart problems, after three years of marriage. He was the father of Noora’s only child, who is mentally disabled.

Noora’s largest ever dower, over $40,000, was paid by an 85-year-old Saudi Arabian businessman, who died a month after marrying the oft-widowed Arabic lady. Her most recent husband paid just over $8,000. However, after three months and four days of family life, he died at his relatives’ home in Kuwait. His relatives have so far failed to inform Noora of the cause and circumstances of his death.

While Noora admits that having an elderly husband has its drawbacks, she says she is ready to tie the knot with a senior citizen once again. ″

Before i read 2 posts on Achelois blog about two muslim men who married 8 and 15 brides. ( Here and Here ) It seems women are not much less than men in this case, they are going to submit some records higher than the like of men!

Even if her husbands all died lately after her marriage, all of them were rich men over 60 years old and that makes questions in mind. I wonder if this Saudi woman has mistaken the marriage with a kind of bussiness? Or maybe young muslim men are not enough responsible that she could count on them?!

    A ray of hope for old guys. She is very clear about her intentions. Marry old rich guys…collect money…and one day she will marry a young man she likes. She is all win-win :-D

  2. iMuslim Says:

    Sounds like a Black Widow to me… :/

  3. Shahrzad Says:

    Zios, i am very suspicious that this woman kills her husbands for the sake of inheritance maybe. Of course after their death, she has inherited 1/8 their wealth. Anyway how she knows young muslim men need an old widowed? Or maybe they also marry her for her wealth?! ;)

    iMuslim, haha, i was thinking Black Widow uses kind of poison that cause heart attack? :D

    I really appreciate the fact that you showed another side to the story (since we hear a lot about muslim men doing it). A true journalist shows both sides and you are a true journalist for bringing this to our attention- some women can do the same!

  5. Shahrzad Says:

    Unique, Thank you dear. :) I heard about women who marry and divorce for dowry. But i didnt know that a woman be able to marry 15 husbands!! Now i am suspicious if she kills her husbands in a way. :-/

  6. Achelois Says:

    Wow! This is amazing, Shah! Thanks for sharing. Women are progressing ;)

  7. Aafke Says:

    Woehaha! : ”whose current surname is unclear”

    I find it a tiny bit suspicious that áll her husbands snuff it so quickly after she married them.
    I would really like some tips from her; seems to me she must have a pretty good technique catching men.

  8. Shahrzad Says:

    Achlois, Haha, Yes i think so. Good to have kind of women around :D
    I found your comment in Akismat box.

    Aafke, LOL, really i wonder she could catch all those men to marry her. Interesting part, she didnt have any child instead of that disabled one. :P
    Also i dont think her tips are for for long time. It kills husbands!!

  9. 'liya Says:

    Oh my.. I remember reading that male article on Achelois’ blog, now its come to females to? Crazy world we live in! How do they remember the names of all their children??!

  10. Shahrzad Says:

    ‘liya, lol..This woman has just a disabled child. So dont need to much thinking to remeber his/her name :D

  11. Sumera Says:

    Seems like she finds them to be fulfilling her “needs” (financial ones?) hence why she carries on going for them.

    At least she isn’t divorcing them willy nilly – they die before she can do that!

  12. Radiant Light Says:

    yikes !

  13. bossingjonathan Says:

    what?!! she marry 16 men? mayve she has 16 vaginas.. lol

  14. darvish Says:

    Too many husbands died
    in too many way suspiciously
    Is there poison in their tea
    placed there surreptitiously?

    Or is it just bad luck
    they fall like dominos
    heart attacks, accidents
    sets a bad precedent

    Marry a dictator or a mullah then
    we can afford to lose a few
    their dowry could be sweet
    Life would be a treat

    Advice to the new husband
    Take out an insurance policy
    enjoy her while you can
    AND DON’T DRINK THE TEA!!!!

    hehe

  15. Aafke Says:

    ROTFL!!!!!!
    Brilliant!!!!!!

  16. Bubbles Says:

    Spooky… very spooky!

    With her past deeds out in the open I wonder which poor sucker will marry her now.

  17. Shahrzad Says:

    Sumera, I heard about some others who marry for taking dowry and then ask for divorce too :-/

    Darvish, lool, Waw, beautiful.. You’re talented. Did you tell this poem by now? It seems the story inspired you :D

    Bubbles, lol girl. You’re cute. :P

    Walton County Woman Married To 5 Men:

    “..Officials arrested Shauna Keith last week. They said the 27-year-old woman married five men, all members of the military…. According to authorities, Keith married a man in the army in Kentucky in 2006. She then allegedly married a marine on the front porch of a home outside Walnut Grove on Christmas Eve 2007…. Keith has married personnel from every branch of the armed services except the U.S. Coast Guard.,,, Officials said she has three children. One child lives with the father in San Diego and two are in the custody of her mother in Oregon. Investigators say Keith is currently pregnant.She is charged with bigamy and fraud…”

    {link: http://www.wsbtv.com/news/15164815/detail.html}

    How about another woman who married 10 men at same time?:

    “MIAMI — A 26-year-old Miami woman was married to 10 men at the same time, prosecutors allege, in a marriage-for-pay scheme to enable the men to remain in the United States.
    Eunice Lopez was charged with nine counts of bigamy Wednesday.
    The charges say she married the men between 2002 and 2006 without divorcing any of them. In one case, she married two men in the same month…”

    {link: http://www.local10.com/news/14853316/detail.html}

    At least Noura had the courtesy to wait for them to depart on their own either because she demanded too much LOVE from them and they got exhausted.. or because they chose to go to heaven to get more of her there.. :)

    I doubt she killed them Shahrazad; you have a doubtful mind? do you think the authorities wouldn’t have investigated the death of so many amused husbands?

    She broke no laws. Now lets just concentrate on those women who got married to so many many at the same time and wonder why is this so much complaint about some oversexed Muslim men who legally may marry more than one up to FOUR ONLY !!!

    Ahh women what are you going to do once you take the world under your pretty feet..

  19. Aafke Says:

    This is só unfair Xavier! As if all women are like that! I want only one and I promise I will treat him as my favorite pet.

    After my horse. :)

  20. Shahrzad Says:

    Xavier, i am not doubtful person. But it is strange how they all died early after marriage. If that’s bcs of too much LOVE, so better no man gets married when he is very much in love with his girl. Bcs it makes him die!!
    Anyway Noora doesnt seem to be in LOVE with those old guys, for she says she got married those old men bcs they were rich.

    What you related to polygamy is interesting. Good point. Same news can be found about westerner men too. And their too many mistresses.
    Anyway we should notice that even polygamy has some difficult conditions that one of them is justice. So if it hurts first wife, muslim man is not allowed to go through it, bcs it is not just. Islam is not patriarch and doesnt want to hurt anyone. That’s religion of men and women both.

  21. Xavier Says:

    Aafke : You horse? ah dnt forget to invite me for a ride soon.. its been a while since i rode a horse.. maybe we can discuss your beloved husband too.. when is your next post “My Horse and I” ?

    Shahrzad : whats wrong with you.. LOVE? i mean SEX ; can’t u tell? come join us for a horse ride,

  22. Shahrzad Says:

    Xavier, Nothing is wrong with me. When i wrote LOVE i meant SEX. Can’t you tell? Enjoy your riding. I go with my beloved Shahriar ;)

  23. Xavier Says:

    OK as you wish; its the same for me… Go study for your exams you will get too tensed in here.. for you my name will be XavIAR from now on to remind you of your beloved ShahriIAR when you decide to join for the horse ride ;)

  24. Shahrzad Says:

    Xavier, Sincerely nobody reminds me of my beloved Shahriar. So stop dreaming.. :)

  25. Aafke Says:

    Xavier, you’re welcome to try the Tarq any time. Make sure you have good health-insurance. You’ll have lots of dream-time in hospital.

  26. Maryam Says:

    I think the woman is too mean to be found guilty ….. :-)

    How come every husband of her is dying so soon after the wedding, I would like to name it as co-incidence but cannot in every case ….. !!!!

  27. Xavier Says:

    Aafke; is that horse of yours Tarq trained to give such hardships for your friends or enemies? I will make sure i have sharp spikes in my riding boots.. and a nice whip.. but i will take my chances any way and start with giving it some sugar and a hug.. it always works for me i never had a horse that felt bad abt me yet !!..
    Be nice enough and let me enjoy the ride; i am too busy for hospital dreams..
    Is Tarq a male or female horse?

  28. Aafke Says:

    The Tarq is defenitely a ”he” I haven’t trained him: he’s just an irresponsible adolescent hooligan! Forget spikes and whips: he’s an extreme fighter: you’ll never win! Carrots and hugs will be taken in gratitude, but won’t buy good behaviour. He’s very friendly, and quite safe in the riding-arena. And if he wants to make trouble he would just stop moving. :)

    I would never really put anybody on the Tarq if I wasn’t convinced they’d be safe.

  29. Shahrzad Says:

    Aafke, you make me eager to ride Tarq someday. Shush, dont say to Xavier :D

  30. radha Says:

    well she seems smart and detached to me. maybe it s just her destiny..

    Shahrazad, you made my day! This was hilarious…thank you for sharing.
