When an Arab man stepped out of his house with his presumed girl friend in Saudi Arabia, he instantly reversed course and jumped back home after seeing a patrol of the Kingdom’s feared Islamic police.

The man made the mistake of his life when he just hurried back in and shut the door, leaving his girl friend outside. The patrol was passing in the area by coincidence when it was attracted by the man’s behaviour.

When members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice stopped the woman, she begged them to leave her as she is married and that she does not know why she kept coming to this man.

“They raided the house and arrested the man from a neighbouring Arab country…they found with him a talisman known as ‘passion magic’,” Sabq newspaper said in a report from the northwestern town of Tabuk.

“When they dismantled the magic work, the woman went into a state of screaming and agitation….after she came round, she told the Commission members that she had been coming to this man’s house to sleep with him but that she does not know why she was doing so…they believed her and decided to let her go because she is married and has children.”

The paper said the man confessed to having made a magic spell at his home country with the aim of making the woman respond to his advances.

“He said the magic spell did work as the woman never said no whenever he told her to come to him.”
