Woman held for having 2 husbands

Saudi Arabia’s religious police arrested a woman for having two husbands at the same time and also practicing sorcery, a newspaper reported on Saturday.

Members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice trapped the woman after receiving a tip off that she had two husbands in two cities at the same time, ‘Kabar’ Arabic language daily said.

After arresting her, she confessed to practicing sorcery and having two husbands in the capital Riyadh and the western town of Madina.
The paper did not say if the two husbands know they are married to the same woman.

Under Islam, a woman is allowed to have one husband at a time but men can have four wives at a time.
