Happy Married Lives

I was in Houston this weekend for a wedding. A relative of mine had come all the way from Dubai to attend the function. Apart from the wedding (about which I will dedicate a seperate post), here are some interesting facts about Dubai ---

Any United Arab Emirates Male Citizen can marry upto 5 times in his lifetime. At any time, he can have a max of 3 wives. For every marriage, the government will give a gift check for 100,000 dirhams (about 20,000 USD), to set up the family. For every child, the government gives the parents an additional 20,000 dirhams.

now I know why these people marry a lot. apart from a new wife, the money matter is also too attractive to ignore :-)

Now who is talking about financial burden and marriage :-)
