Divorce rates in

Manama: The spectre
of divorce has led a two-week bride in Kuwait to throw herself out of a moving
car. The newlyweds were out on a drive alongside the esplanade in the capital
Kuwait City when they had an argument.
When the husband
threatened to divorce his wife, she opened the door of the moving car and threw
herself out, local daily Al Rai reported on Wednesday. Fortunately, she was not
hurt and was able to run away from the vehicle, leaving the husband perplexed.
Unable to follow her, he headed to the police station in the posh area of
Salmiya (Really?? Has the author ever been to Salmiya??) and
informed the officers about the incident.
Contacted by the
police, the wife said that she could not control herself when he raised the
possibility of divorce and that she threw herself out of the car as she
panicked.
She added that she
deeply loved him and that she could not bear the thought of being without him.
Comments on the daily’s site expressed mainly dismay over the events.
“Today’s young people have become totally
irresponsible,” a user writing under the moniker “Patriot” posted. “In the
past, couples spent up to 30 years together without either spouse uttering the
divorce word. Now, two weeks into their marriage, the man mentions divorce and
the woman throws herself out of a moving car.”
Another user said
that “marriage is not a game to be taken lightly” and “people should truly appreciate
its significance.”
Divorce figures in
Kuwait have reached alarming levels despite state efforts to curb the
phenomenon by promoting awareness campaigns and introducing pre-wedding
counselling sessions to guide and advise future couples.
Official statistics
indicate that the highest divorce figures were among couples who held
intermediate school certificates, followed by couples with high school
diplomas.
Couples with
university qualifications had the lowest rate of divorce in the country.

Rule #1: Bitch please, put a lot of money in the termination of marriage clause. Low mahar/high out-clause. "Don't get mad, get everything." Make sure you write enough in there, so you can take yourself to a nice spa somewhere - maybe even buy a home in a vacation spot. Write in that if he wants to divorce you, you want jewelry and maybe a sports car (wouldn't THAT be a thang: He wants to divorce you, but has to buy you a 5K rock and a hot car first!) Write in all the things that make YOU happy, girlfriend! Maybe a little some-in, some-in for your moms too. Then, once you're married, if he ever says the D word - remind him of this: "Yala, divorce me and pay up or shut up!"
Throw yourself from a moving car? Why????
