RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - Four Saudi women teaching in a remote village school have married their driver so they can live closer to work, Al-Watan newspaper said on Monday.

The newspaper said the women from Al-Baha province in south-west Saudi Arabia were impressed with the man’s “good morals” and decided to marry him and live together in the village where they teach -- avoiding a tiring daily commute.

They were married in a short ceremony, and have agreed to pay the driver a share of their monthly salaries, Al-Watan said. Women are not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia, while men can marry up to four women according to Islamic law.

we have marriages for convenience all the time in the US. not exactly for the same reasons, but hey, a rich husband, a fancy house, or a shorter commute, it's all the same! Very Happy

Yeah, but can you imagine life with 3 other co-wives? That is a whole lot different than sharing an apartment with 3 other friends.

One can cook, one can clean, one can shop, and there's no problem if one has a headache!

ytwh1 the mormon women have a pretty miserable life. There are a lot of them in Utah. Each man has quite a few wives ranging from young till old, some are sisters.
