DUBAI (Al Arabiya)
Forget infidelity or abuse for one Saudi woman being stored on her husband's mobile phone as "Guantanamo," after the notorious American prison, is enough of a reason to end a 17-year marriage.
The unnamed woman, 30, reportedly called her husband on his mobile phone, which he had forgotten at home, and saw the word "Guantanamo" appear on the screen, Saudi's al-Watan newspaper reported.

Husband defends himself
The furious wife, who lives in Jeddah, immediately filed for divorce and argued that the nickname shows her husband is a tyrannical person that she could no longer live with despite 17 years of marriage.
The husband, however, defended himself by claiming that the nickname was not about how he sees her, but rather to maintain his own privacy.
“I don’t want people sitting around me to know that this is my wife calling,” he told the London-based Asharq al-Awsat.
