In search of peace and stability in life, this Saudi man married 53 times in 43 years. 63-year-old Abu Abdullah said that he did so many marriages, not for personal happiness but to find peace in life.
Speaking to a Saudi media company, Abdullah said that his first marriage took place at the age of 20. His then-wife was six years older than him. He said that the shortest of his 53 marriages lasted only one night.
“When I first got married, I didn’t plan to marry more than one woman because I was comfortable and I had children,” he said. “But after a while, problems arose and I decided to remarry at the age of 23 and I informed my wife about my decision.”
Even two marriages could not make him happy. According to reports, Abdullah said that he decided to marry a third and fourth because of problems between his two wives.
He claims that he treat all his wives fairly and said that he had even married foreign women.
“Every man in the world wishes to have one woman and remain with her forever… Stability is not to be found with a young woman, but with an old one,” Abdullah stated.
