A 24-year-old Saudi who has just got married went to the government personnel department with his wife to register their marriage and got the shock of his life—the man was told he has a son aged 10 years.
“I was shocked because I’ve just married and, of course, you can’t have a son when you are14 years old,” Badr Al Shahrai said, quoted by the Arabic language daily Sabq.
Sharani, a resident of the Saudi capital Riyadh, said he was embarrassed in front of his wife but added she was later convinced there was a mistake.
“I tried to explain to them many times but they did not listen…they decided to give me a new family card for me, my wife and my presumed son…I am still waiting for them to correct this embarrassing error.”
