ALO Hayati MIDDLE EASTERN MAGAZINE - THE MAN WITH FOUR WIVES

Spring 2010 of ALO Hayati nagazine had an article called A MAN WITH FOUR WIVES, which was told to Sam Stone by Marcus Raouf about a glamorous Kuwaiti millionaire, Majeed Abdal, who traveled the world for his London based company.

According to Raouf, described as his personal assistant who helped him deceive four women by keeping them apart, Abdal married a second woman, a Kuwaitii, because his first wife, an arranged marriage to another Kuwaitii, could not give him a son. That was in the 1990's. Since a man may marry four wives there, these two wives knew of each other and lived nearby each other. But then he married a woman in London and then a woman in Dallas, Texas, in 2002 and 2003. The Dallas woman did give him a son, and he had decided to settle with her, when he died at the age of 57, after 6 years of a grinding pace or, as the author says "grueling duplicity."

THE ARTICLE SAYS THAT IT IS OK TO MARRY FOUR WIVES so long as you CAN SUPPORT ALL OF THEM and THEY ALL KNOW ABOUT EACH OTHER. PERMISSION TO DO SO FROM THE WIVES IS NOT NECESSARY.

Raouf considered it his duty to split Abdal's wealth four ways when he died.
