woman seeks divorce over nickname

[Amby 490]

A Saudi woman is seeking a divorce after discovering her husband had nicknamed her 'Guantanamo' on his mobile phone.

The woman made the discovery while examining the list of contacts in her husband's phone when he left it at home one day, the Al-Watan newspaper reports.

The Riyadh newspaper did not name the woman or her husband, who may live to regret comparing life with his wife with the US detention centre in Cuba. His wife has since decided to end their 17-year marriage and is seeking a divorce.

But the newspaper suggested she might settle for "substantial" financial compensation from her husband and stay married to him.

That's So Cool !!!

In another muslim-ish country - Malaysia - a man could divorce his wife by SMS - I'm not sure if can do it NOW, but it was some big issue a few years back (legal then, but now? ) ..

OMG!

My wife and I call each other names, playfully. I call her "Old Lady" when she's mad or agitated at me. She calls me "Old man" when I'm lazy or get on her nerves. It's lighthearted euphemism to deter any intimidation.
