A
unsuccessful Saudi businessman has put up his own son up for sale on Facebook.
He claims thathe couldn’t see any other way to provide for his wife and
daughter.
Saud
bin Nasser Al Shahry wants more than 73 million UAE Dirhams for the boy, a sum
equivalent to almost $20 million, reports Qatar’s Al Sharq newspaper.ReadmoreA deal on
the boy would offer “a decent life to his mother and sister rather than living
in poverty.”
The
resourceful businessman said his debt-collecting firm had been ruled illegal by
a local court and had to be shut down. When Al Shahry approached the Labor
Office for financial assistance, the authorities allegedly refused him aid as
the ministry does not provide help to individuals over 35 years old.
Al
Shahry is ready to go to court to complete the “sale procedures,” says the
newspaper. The ex-businessman’s only stipulation is to know in which city the
purchaser resides.
