Not Only Slave-Girls: Kuwaiti Political Activist Salwa Al-Mteiri Calls for a Law Permitting Kuwaiti Women to Buy a Husband Abroad

Interviewer: Apart from slave-girls, you are demanding that a law be legislated that would permit a Kuwaiti woman to go and buy a husband with special traits from Europe or the Balkan countries. Explain this to me.

Salwa Al-Mteiri: In my view, a woman's pride is her most precious thing. If she is educated, owns a house, and has financial means, why shouldn't she help a man from a country with a Muslim community? She would help him enter the country, and they would set up a home together.

Interviewer: But wouldn't she feel that she was buying a husband with her money?
