A Saudi man seeking to marry a local girl shocked her father when he rejected the condition to take his bride to Haj (pilgrimage) in return for free wedding.

The girl’s father told the would-be groom that he does not want any dowry from him and that he only wants him to take his daughter to Haj in the Western town of Makkah.

“The father got a shock when the man rejected his condition,” ‘Ain Hail’ newspaper said in a report from the Northwestern Saudi town of Hail.

“He told the girl’s father that he had already gone on Haj and that he wants to marry to rest not to make more trips.”
