Women are not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia, while men can marry up to four women according to Islamic law.
RIYADH: Four Saudi women teaching in a remote village school have married their driver so they can live closer to work, Al-Watan newspaper has said.
The newspaper said the women from Al-Baha province in south-west Saudi Arabia were impressed with the man's ''good morals'' and decided to marry him and live together in the village where they teach -- avoiding a tiring daily commute.
They were married in a short ceremony, and have agreed to pay the driver a share of their monthly salaries, Al-Watan said yesterday.
