DUBAI, SA — After the man's wife stopped sleeping with him, he asked for a divorce. The woman's parents told him their daughter couldn't have sex with him because she is possessed by a Jinn. The BBC says a Jinn, in other terms, is a Genie.
Yes, the same kind Robin Williams played in Aladdin, although we’re not sure if she was blue.
It turns out the woman wasn’t opposed to the idea, but she wanted alimony, lots of it. That’s when the light bulb went off in the man’s head.
Gulf News reports that's the whole Genie thing went up in smoke. The husband's attorney argued "the woman and her family cheated my client. They should have been honest and clear about the fact that the wife was possessed by a jinn. He was only told about the jinn after the problem escalated. The woman does not deserve any allowance."
A Dubai court ordered the man to pay nearly $11,000 in alimony but an appeals court overturned the decision.
All the money gone in the blink of an eye.
