I definitely added to the statistics. After 23 years we divorced, but I'm American. However, having said that, we still get along very well. The kids are free to go back and forth. I send gifts to his new baby, the family always stops in Texas to visit me and my children when they visit the US and we are always talking back and forth through WhatsApp and other social media, not so much my former husband but the rest of the family. A marriage ended, but the ties of family never end. Susan Reddock When a Saudi woman marries an expat, then the children will have their father's nationality and the Saudi government cannot help in time of divorce. However, the children of a divorced Saudi man are eventually Saudis and, therefore, the government will not have an issue to solve. As the divorce percentage is a concern, the government does not approve all of these marriages unless you get permission before getting the marriage. Mohammad Alkhedher
