I'm a grown a@@ woman, I'm not "silly". But thanks for your response.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Wow, so now that I'm reading up on this guy. His first wife is his first cousin and he married her when she was 17 and he was 29. They have 12 children together. And it seems they are still married?
Of course, silly. He has at least 2 other wives that he's been married to forever. Haya married a guy with two other wives. Her shocked bambi routine is funny. Maktoum seems like a guy who just doesn't like to divorce if there are no troubles.

Her win doesn’t mean anything. If he wants her back or the children back, he will take them. No one will stop him and there will be no way to force their return.
I don't agree with that at all.
Have you not read what he’s done this far? Why do you think he would not be able to get to her?

He's the absolute ruler of one of the richest countries in the world. Not sure what anyone could do. She's lucky she got away and managed to squirrel away so much money.
Let's also be perfectly clear that all of this was all well known to Haya when they married. You have to ask yourself why a seemingly progressive woman marries a guy 25 years her senior who already has other wives and countless children, and has no intention of divorcing them. Haya is not a full Arab but as a shami, she certainly knew the way of the Gulfies, and the way they run their houses and countries. But no, Haya thought she could be the fabulous one, the wife who gets to wear regular dresses and mingle with the international jetset while the Emirati wives stay at home. I wonder what her reasons were - like twenty billion of them.
She fled after he divorced her.
Again - what part of how things are done in the Gulf was a surprise to her?
Lie down with dogs, get fleas.
If he divorced her first before she left, why did she file for divorce when she got to London?
Sharia divorce is different from legal divorce.
I think the articles linked above still say that he divorced her after she left. Not before.

Eh? Both of Haya’s parents (King Hussein and Queen Alia) were Arab.
