This is very sad and disturbing, mudah2an mentalitas seperti lelaki arab 
seperti ini tidak dicontoh oleh lelaki indonesia, dan mudah2an ini juga 
menjadikan pelajaran bagi wanita2 indonesia yg bersedia menjadi istri (selir) 
pria arab, perkwainan dgn pria arab tidak mungkin solid and last forever karena 
biasanya motivasi perkawinan wanita indo - pria arab bukan berdasarkan rasa 
cinta dan kasih sayang, just sex buat pria arab dan uang dinar buat wanita 
indonesia, karena motivasi perkawinan hanya utk sex dan uang, perlakukan bahwa 
ini lembaga utk cari duit, disamping bersikap waspada terhadap kelicikan2 pria 
arab ini.

  Wife in Indonesia, Maid in Kingdom
Maha Akeel, Arab News
       
   
   
      JEDDAH, 20 December 2006 — An 18-year-old Indonesian woman sought the 
help of her country’s embassy in Riyadh for a divorce from her abusive husband 
only to find out that her marriage with the elderly Saudi was not recognized 
and she is in the Kingdom actually as his maid, Arab News has learned. 
  Noor Aysha Bukhari came crying to the embassy last week after less than three 
months of living under the impression that she was married to F.S., who she 
claims abused her and forced her to serve his two other Saudi wives and his 
children. 
  The lawyer retained by the embassy, Nasser Al-Dandani, confirmed the case to 
Arab News and said that Indonesian officials would follow up on it and provide 
proof that the couple got married in Indonesia.
  “We will then go to court to persuade him to admit the marriage and 
consequently divorce her and compensate her,” said the lawyer.
  The marriage would still be considered illegal in Saudi Arabia because he 
never registered it with the authorities and brought Bukhari into the country 
on a domestic servant visa. 
  The young woman came to the embassy a few days ago complaining of her 
husband’s mistreatment and seeking a divorce.
  Bukhari says that she occupied a room on the second floor of F.S.’s house 
where, during the day, she took care of his three children from his first 
marriage and served his second wife and three other children, and in the 
evening she played the role as the man’s third wife.
  Saudi men often take second wives, according to social custom, creating 
insecurity for first wives.
  F.S. initially admitted to the marriage, but later denied it, according to a 
source close to the case who did not want to be named. 
  “He is refusing to admit the marriage unless she pays him back a loan of 
SR3,200 he claims to have given her family because of their poor financial 
situation,” said the source, adding that this “loan” was actually the dowry the 
man paid to marry the woman in Indonesia.
  This is not an individual case although such cases are not very common, 
according to sources. A few months ago a local newspaper reported that an 
Indonesian woman came as a maid to look for her son from her Saudi ex-husband 
who married her in Indonesia, then divorced her and took her son.
  It is common for Saudi men to marry Indonesian women temporarily through 
misyar (“no obligation”) marriages and divorce them after paying a relatively 
small sum, which to the poor women and their families makes a big difference.
  Al-Watan newspaper recently wrote that 89 percent of Saudi households have at 
least one maid. The total number of domestic workers is well over 1 million, 
including Bangladeshis, Indians, Filipinos, Ethiopians, Indonesians, Nepalese 
and Sri Lankans
