Wife's phone bills spell divorce
A Jordanian man has divorced his wife for the third time because she spent hours talking on the telephone.
The man, named as Abu Sami, accused his wife of ruining him financially by running up bills three times the size of his salary, Petra news agency said.
The couple had divorced twice before over the wife's use of the phone, but were persuaded to get back together.
Under Muslim law, they cannot marry for a fourth time unless Abu Sami's wife has wed a different man first.
'Without complaint'
"My wife would talk on the phone for hours with her sisters and girlfriends to discuss recipes, clothes and the latest fashion and I used to pay the monthly bill without complaint," Petra quoted Abu Sami, from Zerqa, as saying.
He said the final straw came when his wife began using the family telephone line to make international calls to take part in Arab satellite channel competitions.
"The phone bills represented threefold my salary," Abu Sami said, saying this led to his first divorce.
The couple's families and friends pressured them to get back together, but the second marriage collapsed when the wife used the telephone to excess again.
They divorced, then remarried for a second time, but the wife carried on her expensive habit.
Petra said Abu Sami has now divorced his wife for a third and final time.
