A Saudi man divorced his wife after she reprimanded him for seizing money collected by their children from relatives during Eid Al Fitr early this month, a Saudi newspaper reported on Thursday.

The man from the western Red Sea port of Jeddah took nearly SR2,800 (Dh2750) off his children and decided to use the money to finance a trip to a neighbouring Arab country, Sahafaonline said.

But his wife objected to his act and started to rebuke her husband, prompting him to divorce her, the paper said.

“A court in Jeddah has referred the couple’s case to a special committee to try and end the dispute and restore their marriage,” it said.
