Man Dumps Wife on King Fahd Causeway

DAMMAM, 2 August 2006 — An argument between a husband and wife on the King Fahd Causeway to Bahrain ended with the woman being left behind, the Al-Yaum daily reported yesterday. The couple were on their way to the Gulf country, a popular vacation retreat for many Saudis, when the husband, fed up with his wife’s complaining, kicked her out of the car right on the causeway. He also retained her passport so she couldn’t follow him across the international boundary. Furious, the woman went to the cops, saying her husband had stolen her passport. The cops basically told the woman, “sorry lady, but that’s a family affair”, and proceeded to escort her back to her home in Dammam.
