An Omani Man Recently Advised Men to Just Marry a Second Wife Instead of Hiring a Maid, Which Brings ‘Numerous Complications’. Naturally, This Sparked a Lot of Reactions!
An Omani man’s advice has set social media abuzz: why hire a maid when you could just marry a second wife? His comments, delivered straight to camera, have sparked plenty of laughs, debates, and raised eyebrows across the internet.
He didn’t hold back, saying, “Honestly, advice for young men, marry a second wife and don’t bring a maid.” According to him, hiring a maid comes with a laundry list of complications—think sick leave, limited working hours, and all sorts of unexpected issues. He joked that if your first wife is busy or unwell, a second wife is a better solution than dealing with the Ministry of Labor’s rules for domestic workers.
The Ministry of Labor’s recent decisions haven’t made things easier for those considering domestic help. Maids are now entitled to 40 days of sick leave, a daily wage for eight hours, a weekly rest day, and 21 days of annual leave. The man’s point? All these requirements might make hiring a maid more trouble than it’s worth!
Naturally, the internet had a field day with his advice. Some found it hilarious, others were a bit shocked, and a few even agreed. Whether you’re Team Maid or Team Second Wife, this Omani man’s take definitely got people talking!
