She's a divorced single mum living in London. Wonder if she's on any dating websites that my single mates frequent.

Probably, right now.

Wonder if there will be a reaction to this.

Strange that she didn't even mention let alone criticise the rule that Saudi men can divorce their wives simply by saying "I divorce you" three times...or is it four times, I cannot remember. She just complains about how difficult it is for Saudi women to divorce.:confused:

And of course she lives in London, so was free to make such a statement. No the normal thing you would do in Saudi!

The thing that gets me about all this is she lives in Acton. I mean, Acton. You'd think she lived somewhere slightly more salubrious....

Just about anywhere has to be better than living in the Middle Ages.

I would rather be a witch in 1500 than be a female there.
