Roses - That's All She Wants.

I read this interesting article from today's news. This article may let you realize how much woman likes flowers.
The Iranian wife must felt disappointed when her husband didn't buy her flowers on their wedding's day, just like a lady looking forward to receive flowers from their lover on Valentine's day but didn't get it, truly disappointed !
The ending of this article makes me smile... It might be ridiculous, but she deserved for it.

Iranian Wife Comes Up Roses

TEHRAN — An Iranian court has ordered a man to buy his wife 124,000 roses after she filed a complaint against her "stingy" husband to claim her dowry, a press report said yesterday.

"After 10 years of marriage Hengameh had decided to claim her dowry of 124,000 red roses to punish her very stingy husband," the Etemad newspaper said.

"Shortly after marriage I realised that Shahin was very cheap. He even refused to pay for my coffee if we went to a cafe or restaurant," said the woman, identified only by her first name Hengameh.

But Shahin told the court he could only afford five roses a day and complained that it was "her billionaire friends who had put such ideas in her head".

The court has seized his apartment worth 600 million rials ($89,000) until he buys her the entire 124,000 roses. A long-stemmed red rose costs 20,000 rials ($3) in Tehran.

Under Iranian law, a woman can claim her dowry or mahr, which is a gift pledged by the man at the time of marriage, at any time during married life or when getting a divorce.
