Wife divorced for tweeting behind husband’s back

A Saudi man in his 30s divorced his wife for having an account on Twitter without his knowledge. The husband asked her to cancel her account after he found out that his wife had many male and female followers.

He took the decision to divorce when she refused, after which she went to her father’s house in Jeddah.
The husband tried to call her back and according to their relatives, reconciliation efforts resulted in a suggested agreement under which the husband will have to pay an amount of money to his wife, who will in turn delete her account.
However, the wife insists on keeping the account, saying the husband’s action was unjustifiable and that she is not convinced that simply being on Twitter could cause a family dispute of this scale. Members of the family said efforts are ongoing to bring the couple back together, and that the reconciliation money could be doubled.
