    Thats an odd one alright (the car thing).

    As for the women choosing husbands, its not unheard of and I think the prophets first wife asked him to marry her.

    As for the driver, I am not sure if he is very lucky or you know gonna be in hell with 4 wives, a bit of both maybe.

    ...and 4 mothers anf fathers in law and extended families. He must have a fair few bob too as the Quran says you must provide and treat each wife equally in every way. That's not marriage, it's a balancing act :D Polygamy sounds great on the surface, but I'd say the familial pressure is pretty high.

    Never got the whole car thing myself either. I mean we know about women drivers but........:)

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    In the news story it mentions the women would subsidise him to ensure he can maintain them.

    That's a fair bit of equality going on there, in fairness. The practicalities of marrying them all together(or closely together) might be a nightmare if any of the weddings I've known are anything to go on.

    They sound like very practical women who know what they want and go for it, I must say. He may have his work cut out for him. :D

    From what I heared, women can't drive in KSA (or muslim women shouldn't drive) because its like an excuse to be alone; say a woman had a car accident with a guy, therefore they'll have to fix the problem. Islam disagree withe concept of women doing (mingling -spl?) with men.

    Once I read why driving is forbidden for women in the women section at the mosque there, but I tottaly forgot :p (I think maybe because it didn't make much sense to me).

    Women driving makes adultery easier - when bikes became widespread in Ireland priests spoke out against them because it'd let young men go to parishes where they weren't known.
