Saudi teacher refuses to turn matchmaker 

(MENAFN - Arab News) The principal of a girls' secondary school in Dammam was shocked when a female visitor asked her recently to serve as a matchmaker for the woman's son.

She requested the principal to tell her the name of an intelligent girl of exemplary character so that the woman's son could marry her.

The principal refused to comply with the woman's request, saying that she was a teacher and not a matchmaker.

However, the principal said she was willing to discuss the conduct of any girl in her school if the mother wanted her son to marry her, Al-Madinah daily reported on Sunday.
