Man in Saudi Arabia divorces wife over WhatsApp message

A man in Saudi Arabia divorced his wife because of her WhatsApp status, pan-Arab newspaper Al-Hayat reported. The husband claimed his wife had typed, “I pray to be patient enough to put up with you”, followed by his initials. “I called one of my relatives to check whether she was addressing me. My relative confirmed this and I was so embarrassed that my friends’ wives and relatives could see that I was being portrayed in such a light. “I don’t even know what she meant by it.” He added his marriage was already suffering and claimed her act was “inappropriate”. “It wasn’t the first time she has tarnished my reputation on social media. “She had once written a poem on me and I told her it was very obvious what she was trying to say. Changing a poem into a prayer makes no difference. “We were already miles apart in our relationship so I decided to divorce her before she retells my entire life story on social media.” Al-Arabiya
