JEDDAH, 2 December 2006 — An Egyptian woman filed for divorce from her husband, a doctor, because he would not speak English with her, the daily Al-Ahram reported yesterday. The woman, a graduate of the American University in Cairo and a translator by trade, said she wanted a divorce even though her husband was wealthy and generous.
In another story published in the daily Al-Madinah yesterday, a man in Taif divorced his wife because her kidneys were failing. In response to the obvious criticisms, the man said he waited to divorce his wife until her social insurance was secured. How kind!
