A 145kg Saudi man seeking to marry a local girl was given three years by her father to lose 55kg, but he managed to shed only 25kg.

When the suitor returned to the woman’s father after three years, he was again told he must reduce his weight by 55kg to 90kg if he wants to marry his daughter.

“The father insists that the man must lose 30kg more to reduce his weight to 90kg if he wants to marry his daughter,” 'Makka' newspaper said.

It did not make clear if the suitor agreed to that condition nor did it mention where in Saudi Arabia the incident took place.
