Are you sick of your wife?

If you are suffering from marital boredom, Saleh Al-Saieri of Saudi Arabia, who has married 58 women in 50 years, fathering 36 children, has got a solution for you:

"As soon as Al-Saieri gets the itch to marry again, he draws lots between the current four wives to choose which one will be divorced."

Not only is Mr. Al-Saieri an equal opportunity divorcer, he applies the same principles of fairness and non-discrimination when it comes to his choice of bride:

"I married university graduates and illiterate women. The oldest wife I am married to is 40 and the youngest is 13, who I married just one month ago. She lives in southern Saudi Arabia."

Mr. Al-Saieri knows his limits, intending to stop when he hits 60 wives (no pun intended.)

(Hat tip Sir Harry Morgan, commenting on an LGF thread quoting the story of two Saudi business partners in their 70s who have married their teenage daughters in order to strengthen business ties)
