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.)
