Saudi Religious Police Official Arrested for Excess of Wives

A 56-year-old official in the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice had been arrested for exceeding the wife limit in the Jazan province of Saudi Arabia. Under Sharia law, a man can have as many as four wives but the official had accumulated six wives. It appears that the official has two wives too many.

The official has three wives from Saudi Arabia and three from Yemen. He will now have to slim down his marital numbers to four and insists that he has already moved to divorce two of the women.
