Saudi Arabia: Woman files for divorce for 'Gitmo' name




Dubai, 19 October (AKI) - A Saudi woman wants to divorce her husband after the man stored the wife's name as 'Guantanamo' on his mobile phone. The 30 year-old woman, who had been married for 17 years called her husband on the mobile phone, which he had left at home, and saw the name Guantanamo, after the notorious US prison in Cuba, Saudi daily Al-Watan reported.

The wife, who lives in the Saudi port city of Jeddah, immediately filed for divorce and said her husband is a tyrannical person that she could no longer live with.

The Riyadh-based daily also suggested that the woman might settle for "substantial" financial compensation and stay married to her husband.

The spouse defended himself saying he merely did it for privacy reasons and did not want people to know his wife was calling.

"I don’t want people sitting around me to know that this is my wife calling," said the husband.
