Saudi Man Marries Principal, Teacher, Student, and Education Supervisor from Same School
RIYADH, May 28: An unusual marriage case from 2012 has resurfaced and gone viral on social media, reigniting public curiosity and debate across Saudi Arabia. The story involves a Saudi man in his 50s who reportedly married three women—all affiliated with the same school—including a student, a teacher, and the school's principal.
Originally reported by Saudi daily Okaz, the man is also said to be married to a fourth woman who serves as an educational supervisor, allegedly at the same school. The resurfacing of the case online has once again turned the spotlight on the man's complex family structure and its implications within the educational environment. The article was published in 2012 on the Saudi Gazette and Al Arabia
Despite the unconventional arrangement, reports at the time stated that the principal maintained a professional relationship with both the teacher and the student, despite all three being married to the same man. One of the wives, who works as a teacher, told Okaz she made no distinction between her co-wives and other colleagues at the school.
While polygamy is legally permitted in Saudi Arabia (allowing men to marry up to four women), the overlap of roles within the same school has made this case particularly striking.

KUWAIT CITY, May 14: As part of the Ministry of Interior's ongoing efforts to combat the drug menace, the Criminal Security Sector, represented by the General Department for Combating Narcotics, in coordination with the General Administration of Customs, successfully seized a shipment at Shuwaikh Port. The shipment, which originated from another country, contained approximately 110 kilograms of hashish concealed within marble slabs. Following thorough investigations and intensive inspection of the shipment, authorities arrested two suspects: Radi Matar Al-Muhammad, a Syrian national, and Dhari Abdullah Shaman, a Bedoun (Stateless) with Eritrean nationality. The two individuals allegedly conspired with a Saudi national, Khaled Walid, in an attempt to smuggle the shipment out of Kuwait. Additionally, a search of one suspect's residence led to the discovery of 6,000 Captagon pills, 5 grams of methamphetamine (Shabu), and an electronic scale used for preparing and distributing narcotics. The suspects have been referred to the relevant authorities for legal action. The Ministry of Interior reiterates its commitment to monitoring and apprehending anyone attempting to compromise national security or engage in the trafficking or promotion of narcotics.
