Iranian's 3 wives attempt suicide after shopping row
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=s ... n_overdose

EHRAN (Reuters) - All three wives of a 67-year-old Iranian man have taken overdoses in an unsuccessful triple suicide attempt after the youngest wife bought an expensive pair of boots, a news agency has reported.


"My two other wives were very jealous after my 27-year-old wife bought a pair of boots for $450," the husband was quoted as saying by the ISNA student news agency on Sunday.

"After they had an argument about the price, they all attempted suicide together," he added.

All three women, now in stable condition in hospital, have separate apartments and cars.

Men in Iran, where Islamic law has been in force since 1979, can marry up to four wives, although polygamy is fairly rare.

Notice how the article says 'they had an argument...'. They didn't argue w/him, just amongst themselves. Iranian women aren't allowed to bitch to their husbands or else they can be hung from cranes.
