Saudi Arabia is So Backwards....

Get this: Saudi Teacher Asks Expat to Marry Her

Saudi Teacher Asks Expat to Marry Her
Arab News

TIAF, 19 February 2007 — A Saudi female teacher asked her expatriate driver to marry her offering him a dowry of SR100,000. When the driver said he was unable to provide her with a high standard of living the teacher said she would purchase a restaurant for him in order to earn a secure income. The driver, who has been driving a number of teachers to school for the last five years, received the proposal one day while dropping the teacher off at home. The driver gladly accepted and the couple are soon to marry.


A woman (who is not allowed to drive) asks a man (her chauffeur) to marry him and he accepts.

Only in a place as backwards as Saudi Arabia is this front page national news!

I wonder if the royal family is proud....
