A Saudi man could not identify his wife after a fatal car accident without her veil on. He’d never seen her face.
Emirates 24 reported, via Jihad Watch:
After nearly 10 years of marriage that produced five children, Mufleh Mohammed of Saudi Arabia still has not seen his wife’s face.
Mohammed Hilal, another Saudi husband, could not identify his wife who was killed in a road crash until her veil was put back on her face.
Mufleh and Mohammed are among many Saudi men who have never seen the face of their wives as they insist on sticking to ancient tradition of keeping their face covered even in front of their relatives or husbands in defiance of ongoing changes brought about by the advent of oil and a massive foreign influx.
In a report on such habits, the Saudi Arabic language daily Alhayat said many women in the conservative Gulf Kingdom that controls nearly a quarter of the world’s oil still defy the winds of change and stick to their ancestors’ traditions.
Even after they get married, they never remove their burqu (face veil), leaving their husbands guessing how they look like. Mufleh is one of those husbands.
“My wife still keeps her face covered all the time even in front of her family and relatives because she has been accustomed to this since she was a child…I have to respect her wishes and not insist on seeing her face,” he said.
Alhayat said Mohammed was another one among many Saudi husbands who are deprived from seeing the face of their wives.
“I could not identify my wife after she was killed in a road accidents…I asked security women to put the veil back on her face…after they did so, I recognized her and indentified the dead person as my wife,” he said.
What a wonderful way to live.

Only in Islam can a guy get hammered, pick up a “two paper bagger” and never be forced to “sober up!!”
Granny commented:
How horribly sad. Can you imagine living your whole life and never seeing the face of your mother?
Mike in VA commented:
@ Oldpuppymax… or to even have to get paper bags

This is a good practice, as most of them are three baggers anyway.

To expect people from such a psychologically twisted culture to behave in a way we consider normal is just nuts.
averagemelon commented:
In Islam, women are good for only two things. One of them is watching the kids produced during the rape
TiminPhx commented:
Obviously any woman wicked enough to allow metal to touch her body in a forceful way deserves to be beaten.
The fact that she is dead shouldn’t stop the husband from punishing her for this shockingly lewd behavior.

Since hearing rumblings over the weekend that there are many Muslims living in the US, want Sharia law implemented here. I was wondering where NOW is? Sharia means women are subservient to the men. No equality in the workplace for women. Rapes will go unreported and not even investigated. Is NOW too busy picketing Augusta National again? Does NOW want sharia law in the US? I’m just asking……..
Timmy commented:
Perhaps this explains the rumor about Arabs loving their goats, sheep and camels so much.
Anne Patterson commented:
Re Granny’s comment #4: This is why they are so screwed up. No normal human contact from birth results in having no respect for human life. My friend told me recently she was at an Italian restaurant, and a woman there was lifting the veil up just enough to stick the fork with the spaghetti into her mouth. She said she was so disgusted she nearly had to leave. Sharia law indeed.
Joanne commented:
He must have been warned that she was some ugly, so why ruin the fantasy.

I hear that Roberta Flack’s “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” was changed to “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Veil” in order to get air play in Saudi.
