A 63-year-old Saudi Citizen Married 53 Women In Search Of Stability

Saudi man, 63, married 53 women for "stability, happiness, and psychological comfort", not for personal pleasure.

His multiple marriages were not for personal pleasure, Abu Abdullah told MBC, stressing that he now has one wife and does not intend to return to polygamy.

"It was my first marriage when I was 20 years old, and my wife was six years older than me," Mr Abdullah told the 'MBC in a Week' programme.

He explained that it was his belief that stability comes from marrying an older woman, and not a younger one.

“At the beginning, after my first marriage, I did not think about taking the decision to polygamy because I was comfortable and had children. My first wife does this,” Saudi website Sabq reported.

He said that it was only after a problem occurred between his first and second wives, that he decided to marry his third and fourth wives, divorcing the first two after some time.

He later divorced his third wife after a dispute arose between her and his fourth wife.

Mr Abdullah continued to remarry after he divorced his fourth wife, indicating that he always tried to be fair to his wives.

He revealed that although he had mostly married Saudi women, he had to marry foreigners while he was traveling outside the kingdom for work, where he would stay for a period of three to four months.
