Anyone on QL- is this your Dad?

"UAE's superdad is all set to tie the knot again, with the aim of hitting a century before 2015.

Father of 88 children, 64-year-old Daad Murad Abdul Rahman will marry 18-year-old Aisha in Jaipur (Indian state of Rajastan) after Eid.

Speaking to Emirates24|7, Rahman said: "The wedding was arranged by his Indian doctor. Meher [money bridegroom pays the bride's father] has been fixed at Dh20,000 and the nikkah [wedding] will be held in Jaipur."

Rahman, who lives in Ajman and Manama, has 50 boys and 38 girls. The eldest son Tariq is 39 years of age and the youngest is a few months old. "I will stop marrying when I have 100 children. I hope to achieve that with this marriage."

The sexagenarian could not conceal his excitement when asked about his new bride. “I'm thrilled about my wedding. She is a pretty girl. I have seen her photograph. I speak to her over the phone. I have applied for visa to visit India for the marriage. Most probably, I will leave for India after Eid."

"Every marriage is a celebration in our family as children get new clothes, sweets and gifts. We will have to cut at least four sheep for the festivities.

I will bring the new bride to Ajman a few weeks after the marriage," he added.

Rahman takes pride in the media coverage he receives. First featured in 'Emirates Today' way back in 2007, his growing family was later on 'Big Families' an international TV programme. "My new wife is impressed because she has already seen me on TV channels. Several TV people have come to my house to interview me and shoot my family members,” he said.

“We have just celebrated one Eid and the family is getting ready for the next Eid. The new bride will add more flavour to the festival mood in my family," he added.

Rahman gets pension from the UAE Armed Forces, financial aid and other benefits such as free homes from the government.

His family comprising 127 members live in seven homes spread across different emirates. Most of his children are employed in good positions (UAE Armed Forces, Police, etc). One of them is a businessman in the UK.

Rahman says he has been married 15 times. However, he has only three wives at present and the rest are divorced. Some of his ex-wives, however, still stay with him."

Of course it's a carrot,what tool could you expect from this man at his age?It can't be cucumber..carrots with its rough skin would be the best example i guess,,:))

Wk, exacty.

There was one incident long back in the 90s where an AIR INDIA air hostess freed a minor girl from the clutches of an old man who married her in hyderabad and was taking her to SHARJAH(i guess)..

Speed I don't think it's about seeking nationality. Money is enough for them.

Hyderabad used to be the centre for rich Sheikhs looking for child brides, guess they are looking at other places too now

Yes Soniya,The parents who are handling their daughters to this DOM seem to be insane too.How could this one wants to bring a hundred kids?he's not treating them as his children,he's just treating them like his collections to show the world..He's not doing it out of love,he's doing it out of his goal..that sick goal of his.stupid chap.i pity for his children.

By soniya• 13 Nov 2010 09:58

PS, exactly my thoughts..

That SICK doesn't look rich at all..Even i raised the same question above..

I remembered a news in my country featuring a family of 23,having 21 kids.& the parents are counting them every night to know if there's someone missing.the mother is even calling them by number coz remembering their names is hard,,.and how could this man have 88 kids?maybe one day,he'll marry one of his daughters..,he's just trying to be in guiness..and want the world know how much libido he has..LOL..plus this man doesn't look wealthy..how he could provide all their needs?he can't even buy a shaver..sucks..

I would blame the BRIDE's father for such psychic activity..It's really hard to believe that educated parents are handling over their daughters to this SICKO..

By anonymous• 13 Nov 2010 09:42

He can't even notice if someone is missing i guess..LOL.

By soniya• 13 Nov 2010 09:38

How this SICK, CRAZY old man is supporting his entire clan?? I am surprised that the pension that he receives is enough for him and to feed his family..

I am sure most of his kids and wives would be deprived from basic necessities of life..

Maher IS the money paid by the husband to bride not to her father.

PrincessSarah do you think he would? I would be surprised if he could remember all his 15 Wifes' name.

Also his wealth will finally get divided.... whats the use? His sons will be poorer than him....

By anonymous• 13 Nov 2010 08:24
anonymous

LOL..how could anyone do this?88 kids?

Does he know all their names?

By anonymous• 13 Nov 2010 08:03

I just hope all the 88 are his kids....

Logically the women would get even with him... for screwing so many...

This is a book called 'The dancing girls of lahore' its a study and analysis of types of prostitution. It explained what Speed has touched upon.

Speed I think has given a good answer for the situation.

Money + visa

Which is why you see these gross rig pigs here with young ladies from certain countries.

the purpose of bride family is to seek Nationality nothing else.

I know many families who have sold their daughters to Arab Sheikhs. Similarly few other countries incl. Pakistan, Moroco, Bangladesh and some Arab Countries follows the same tradition, one rich Arab man can buy girls from age 12 and above...

As per my findings most of the families sell their girls not only for money but to gain nationality or some kind of business in the Arab world mainly from GCC.

Keidoupe is right... what's the big deal to have 88 kids? If every woman who you guys slept with had 1-2 kids, here you go, very easy.. The problem is not to HAVE kids, the problem is to SUPPORT all of them...

By rubypavino• 13 Nov 2010 04:12

this must be put to GUINESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS...lol!(judt kiddin).

what even sad is that some of this kids will never meet each other as siblings but might meet in circumstance that can resort in to a relationship and before they known it they have started to produce "would that be incest and if so who is to blame?

why drmana? what's the problem with age of 64 for hot arabian man? they can go on and on till 90 very easy..wallah!

Fathima, there were so many husbands, let me remember what eaxctly attracted me most in that one..

By drmana• 12 Nov 2010 22:50

Another question: Is he sure that he fathered all of those said children? Going by his age, I very much doubt.

By anonymous• 12 Nov 2010 22:49

Lol adey loved the thread title..

The girl's family has taken the easy way out of poverty but 230,000 INR (20,000 AED) aren't going to get them far. Maybe they will just sell off another one of their kids when it runs out.

By FathimaH• 12 Nov 2010 22:48

so what about him attracted you most? The mahar, the celebrations or the fact that he's been on TV? Tell us, please..lol

this is one of my husbands..

Disgusting! What a sick sick situation...and how in the world can this all be legal? (considering his ex wives still living with him)

And this statement of his "My new wife is impressed because she has already seen me on TV channels" Typical star struck teenager,eh? *shudders* what people have to do for money..Audubillah from such poverty!

As for the doctor..Subhanallah! what a criminal! But even back home I've come to know many corrupt brokers. Scumbags the lot of em!

her family, brit. You are just assuming. She may look at this as a chance to marry a rich Gulf Arab or she may not want to marry him and is being forced. We really don't know, do we?

By Oryx• 12 Nov 2010 21:50
Oryx

Sorry chum not good enough. There are unfortunately many poor families and they wouldn't dream of selling their children.

In the case of 'the doctor' its pure greed.

By britexpat• 12 Nov 2010 21:48

It's to do with poverty and need. She has "sacrificed" herself for the sake of her family..

Sad reality of life today..

By Oryx• 12 Nov 2010 21:43

But really do you need or not need a degree to know that 'brokering' a marriage like this is morally wrong and probably human trafficking????

He sold a young girl from his country.... what a vile creature....

Indian Doctors ANYWHERE in the world are to be questioned.

3/4 of the time their 'qualifications' are not real.

They may be bright, they may have a 'degree' but to be honest unless they get their medical degree in the West...never trust an Indian Doctor from India.

This is from experience.

By Oryx• 12 Nov 2010 21:34
Oryx

Its so backwards and sad....

the girl has been sold like an animal so this moron can breed

The girl comes from a horrible family if they allow her to marry someone who could be her grandfather.

And shame utter shame on the Indian doctor (so-called educated) who brokered this deal.

The doctor should be locked up - that is human trafficking.

She is gonna become very soon a reproduction machine... what else to say??

This is true! A Kenyan who recently died 'Akuku Danger' had 130 wives, 400 kids and over 1500 grand kids! He recently died a couple of weeks ago and his funeral has been planned to be on December as they are still trying to reach all family members! They are even having a page on facebook!! Some are also abroad and are to come back for the funeral! Almost half the grand children are married! So you can imagine the number of family that will be attending the funeral!!
