A resurfaced story about a Saudi man’s unconventional polygamous marriage has once again gone viral, sparking debates across social media. While polygamy is permitted in Saudi Arabia, the identities of the man’s four wives have drawn global attention due to their unusual connection — all of them are linked to the same school.
According to a post originally shared by the Life in Saudi Arabia page, the man is married to a high school student, her teacher, the teacher’s supervisor, and the school’s principal. Reports claim the three professional women and the younger wife have lived together without conflict.
The story first made headlines in 2012, covered by outlets including The Independent and Gulf News, but its recent revival has reignited public debate.
Reactions online have been sharply divided. Many users, particularly from India, condemned the marriages as unethical and potentially exploitative, citing concerns over consent and power dynamics. Others took a lighter view, joking about the rare coincidence of all four women coming from the same institution.
While the authenticity of the details remains disputed, the viral spread of the post underscores a persistent global fascination with unusual and controversial relationship arrangements.
