5-star wedding for inmate at Saudi prison

An inmate at a Saudi prison was given a five-star wedding that he apparently would not imagine even at his own house.

Pictures published by the Arabic language daily 'Sabq' would at the first glance give the impression that the wedding involves a wealthy couple as not too many people in the oil-rich Gulf kingdom can afford such a fabulous furnishing for the party.

The management of the prison in the central town of Buraidah even ensured the groom was provided with a private place next to the prison for his honeymoon.

“The prison management made great effort to give the inmate a big wedding party….two separate halls were prepared for men and women while the guests were entertained for a big banquet during the wedding,” the paper said without indentifying the lucky prisoner or say he has been jailed.
