If you're married or have been, how many times? All to different women or did you re-marry an ex?
Never been married myself. Not interested.

There’s a large Distillery near us.
The owner, Hameed, once married a beautiful cashier who worked for him. She came from a different religious background, and he went through considerable resistance from his family to be with her. But he chose her anyway.
Two years later, they divorced. She walked away with half his company.
Hameed sold the business, bought a house, and started over with a small cafeteria. For a while, it seemed like he had rebuilt his life.
Then, a few years later, they reconciled. He married her again.
The ending, as people tell it, was painfully predictable. Another divorce. This time, he lost the house. He sold the café, and eventually left the country.
The last part of the story is almost surreal—his ex-wife is said to have invited him to their son’s wedding. But he’s too afraid to return.
No one really knows how much of this is true. Around here, it’s just one of those stories that travels as a half rumor.
