How long should poor men wait for their fiancées to agree to marry? A shilly-shally Saudi woman gave her answer after 25 years of being proposed to!

This week the selective woman finally got married to a 40-year-old Saudi, the Al-Medina newspaper reports.

Having called him on the telephone, the new bride’s agent amazed the man by announcing the news. During the past quarter of a century she rejected a lot of proposals to be fully determined in her choice.

The large family father didn’t hesitate to get married to another woman having children with his first wife. The case is legal under Muslim law which lets men have four wives at once.
