A Saudi man married four women at the same time just to prove his ex-wife was wrong when she told him no other woman would marry him.
The Saudi woman had thought her 23-year-old ex-husband was bluffing when he told her he would marry four women at the same night to show she was mistaken, the Arabic language daily Alwatan reported on Wednesday.
“He fulfilled his promise and married four women at the same time and in one night just to vex his ex-wife,” the paper said.
It quoted the unidentified man from the southwestern province of Asir as saying he divorced his first wife because their marriage was a total failure.
“After I divorced her a few months later, she defied me and said that I will not be able to marry again as no other woman will accept me,” he said. “I replied by swearing to her that I will marry four at the same time and in one night.”
Alwatan said the man paid his four new wives around SR80,000 (Dh78,000) as dowry (money paid by bridegrooms to their brides under Islamic law).
The man also paid SR10,000 (Dh9,900) in expenses for his honey moon, the paper added, without making clear if the honey moon involved all the four.
Under Islamic law, Muslim men can have four wives at the same time and such an edict has given rise to polygamy in the oil-rich Gulf.
So, he the “root” cause for these multiple marriages…was pride/bruised ego…the need to “prove” something to an ex wife. I wonder how long such marriages will last…considering he went into them for the wrong reason.
As far as the ex wife is concerned…LMAO…seems he still cares about her…or that she STILL has power over him…if he let her words bother him soooo much to take on such a HUGE financial and emotional responsibility. He may be gloating now…but a few months/years down the road…he might not be able to handle or even keep all four wives. And if he decides to “divorce” some of them…that gives the ex wife a reason to gloat because it reconfirms her belief that he can’t handle a marriage.
Seems like he’s got a lot of ego…and that’s a dangerous quality to have in any relationship…let alone a marriage. Such people can be difficult to get along with.
And most likely the motivation for those marriages (for the women) would be the money…especially if they knew that the guy was planning to have other wives. So, the guy is only proving that the women married him for money and NOT because he has a wonderful personality or character, lol. UNLESS…he planned this whole thing out…and started dating or getting to know each woman separately before hand…and they feel for his charm/personality…and married him…and found out after the marriage that they were not to be the “only” wife.
This man is using four women to prove something to his ex-wife? The marriages may last a very long time but that doesnt mean anything in terms of happiness. No would be happy living in that type of an arrangement.

Not so cupcake. The root cause was to prove to the woman that he is of some value. Most if not all women believe that they are the best thing that could happen to a man. Specifically in the case of the man they marry, even though he may have settled. The women in question when stating that no other woman would marry him was an issue of ego and self-worth for herself. Otherwise why would she make that statement? She wanted to prove to the man that she was the best he could do. As most women do, she underestimated the man she married. He has proven he can in fact do much better than her. 4 times at that.
Secondly the assumption that he went in for the wrong reasons, is an assumption on your part. Not a statement of fact or reality. It is mainly the female ego that assumes that he went in it for the wrong reasons. Yes he wanted to prove his ex-wife wrong. But who is to say he is not a good husband or a good father? Women these days are normally the root cause of divorce.
The rest of your post is merely conjecture based on the premise that the wife is right. One woman can be right. But 4 can be wrong to marry him. Odd, that just isn’t logical at all.
In reality after 23 years one does have power over the other person. But it is the wife in this case who felt the need to prove her own self-worth by saying no other woman would marry him. That smacks of deep levels of insecurity and a desire not to see her former husband happy.
