Apparently in Iran, many marriage contracts are specifying in the dowry agreement that the wife will receive gold coins equal to her weight should the marriage end in divorce. How easy it is to enter into these agreements when you are a Muslim man who wants to pop his cherry ..... and oh how they live to wish that they had stuck to solo efforts!
It seems that the divorce rates in Iran have risen by 5.5% recently and now some thousands of Iranian men who are unable to pay have ended up in in prison. Now apart from the funny element of this story, biter bitten so to speak (if you want Sharia law, then you can't moan when it works against you).
It occurs to me that one consequence of this is that you wouldn't want your wife to get fat .... imagine what this divorce cost calculation would mean for men in the US or UK?
In fact I found out for you .... a woman who weighed 12st (and that's a light one these days!), would cost you $4,340,075.80 .... This her weight of 168 pounds in gold based upon the current spot gold price of $1,771.50 per ounce. If you want to weigh up the real cost of a divorce from your sweeter and better half (Iranian Sharia style), then go here where there is a calculator for this.
Yet another good reason to resist the calls for Iranian style sharia law in the west.
