Kathy E <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: An Iranian man has been in and out of prison for the past year, sued alternately by his three wives, a secret former spouse and several other people he cheated, a newspaper reported Thursday. A year ago, Saeed's three wives sued him after learning they had a common husband, the daily Iran said. But in front of the court they started fighting "tooth and nail," and when their husband tried to intervene, they "beat him unconscious." In an about turn, Saeed, a real estate broker, became the plaintiff and filed a suit against his wives, forcing them to pay compensation. But as he stepped out of the court, he was confronted by several people who were suing him for cheating them out of their money by selling them the same house, a fraud which cost him a three-year jail sentence and 74 lashes of the whip. Last week, Saeed was released on parole but, as he was preparing to leave the prison with his three wives waiting outside to greet him, a guard informed him that he had to return to his cell because of a new suit filed against him, by a former wife. Akram, 34, was suing because a check from her former husband had bounced. Saeed had given her the check for seven million rials (around 1,500 dollars) as a backup to his marriage vow, which is customary in Iran. But she charged that her former husband had "cheated me out of my money then left me without any news." "This man is a wolf in the guise of a sheep. He doesn't deserve any pity," she told the judge, adding that she got a divorce in absentia after two years. The court sent Saeed back to prison. -- Kathy E "I can only please one person a day, today is NOT your day, and tomorrow isn't looking too good for you either" http://members.delphi.com/kathylaw/ Law & Issues Mailing List http://pw1.netcom.com/~kathye/rodeo.html - Cowboy Histories http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Lobby/2990/law.htm Crime photo's Subscribe/Unsubscribe, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the body of the message enter: subscribe/unsubscribe law-issues
