33 Kuwaiti women file for divorce after husbands go to Lebanon, not to perform Umrah in Makkah

More than 30 Kuwaiti women have filed for divorce after they discovered that their husbands spent the New Year’s Eve in Lebanon while claiming they were performing Umrah in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, a Kuwaiti lawyer said

Spiritual trip

“At the beginning of this year, 33 Kuwaiti contacted me to file for divorce after they discovered that their husbands who said that they were on a spiritual trip to Makkah to perform Umrah in Saudi Arabia went in fact to Lebanon to celebrate New Year’s Eve,” the lawyer said, Al Seyassah daily reported on Tuesday.

Rather its what we do with such knowledge that counts. These wives for example decided they do not deserve such men so they opted out but some may feel,due to their own presumed or real, shortcommings that they should continue in marriages of this nature. God tests us all and its up to us to chose whats best for us!

Fathimah, maybe this acceptance is one of the factors that  make it possible for the saga to continue...indefinitely.

wishful thinking on my part. It just pains me how people like this often manage to not only get away with such deceit but also go on to repeat them again and again. But hey..as a Muslima I accept that ultimately we all get what we deserve!

Sadly its certainly not the first...Guess they are in the news simply cos they, the adulterous  fools, got caught,wholesale!

Fathimah, and you think that will make a difference? Besides, it's never going to happen.

I do hope the IDs of these men are exposed, lest they go remarry other unsuspecting women *shudders*

These 33 were a bit more stupid(if that is even possible!) than the rest of this lying,hypocritical Gulf Arab lot,no big deal is it?...nobody hears is naive enough to think this is a one-off incident right?...

I think the best option is to name and shame these men by publishing their photos in the local paper ..

Kok sounds like a Japense word...  I wonder what would be the Meaning of "Kok" in Japanese... ;)

MBK.... actually thats not such a bad idea to implement... can you imagine here if all the Qatari women had to issue NOCs and exit permits to their husbands before they coud leave the country... wonder how many would be allowed to have multi-exit visas;-p

I remember seeing this cartoon in the Gulf Times showing an Arab woman clinging on the outside of airplane with her husband inside with this caption."I thought you said that you were going to Makkah, then why are you on the plane to Bangkok?"

The best way to stop this that all Arab married men should have a No Objection Letter from their wives when they leave the country..:)

They really should have rethought the number of people in the tour-bus... someone was bound to let it slip that they hadn't been where they said they were...
