Saudi wife gets divorce instead of salary

A Saudi woman could not stop moaning on her husband to give her a monthly wage because of rising household expenses. In the end, he gave up and handed her a letter which did not contain a wage but divorce.

The unidentified wife in the central town of Madina insisted on getting more money from her husband but he refused, Sharq newspaper said on Monday.

“She then set a monthly salary of SR2,000 (Dh1,950) but her husband again refused, saying there was no justification for the increase,” it said.

“She then asked for a divorce from her husband, who quickly agreed to her request to end nearly 11 years of marriage.”
