BD9,000 to change husband's mind! [Daily Tribune (Bahrain)](Daily Tribune (Bahrain) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) A video being circulated in the cyber world has become the centre of controversy among internet users and social networkers in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries. Touching a very sensitive and regional issue in a very mocking manner, the video was viewed more than half-a-million times on Youtube in less than five days. In the video, a Saudi man brags to his friends about how his wife offered him SR90,000 (BD9,000) to change his mind and to refrain from marrying another woman. Apparently his friends offered him are one third of the amount (BD3000) earlier, encouraging him to get married for the second time. While speaking without revealing his identity, the man walks into his residence to find love letters pasted on the wall and a table with a cake on top, along with 180 SR500 notes. "I do not know how she found out about our agreement guys, but I will definitely turn your offer down," says the man to his friends, admitting that it was a wake-up call and he will never think of leaving his wife again. The way polygamy (multiple marriages) and infidelity were projected in the video did not receive much praise from viewers of both genders. More than 70 per cent of comments on the clip were negative and the section was beset with insults and demands to remove the video. copyright (c) 2014 Daily Tribune.
