RIYADH, September 24 (RIA Novosti) - A Saudi woman has got married to a childhood suitor after surprising him by accepting his marriage proposal from 25 years earlier, local media reported Wednesday.
Al-Medina newspaper said the 40-year-old groom received the news of his engagement when his new bride's representative called him on the telephone.
The representative said the selective woman had considered a lot of proposals during the past quarter of a century, but rejected all of them and finally realized that the one made when she was a girl was the best.
The newspaper, which did not identify the couple, said the man has children with another woman but did not hesitate to marry a second wife, which is legal under Muslim law.
