Sad Love Story of Bahraini Princess Who Eloped with a US Marine 23 years ago. Where Is She Now?

Their love story is so incredible that it may seem like fiction. A simple American soldier actually stole a princess and then married her with her consent. Her uncle Hamad, the king of Bahrain, was furious. But all the monarch's efforts proved insignificant against the tenacity of true love. How did the lovers overcome all the obstacles? How did this fantastic story unfold and how did it end?

[@delmahnori1582]

I think the US marine was stupid to involve with the princess of Bahraini. His action was resulted in the marine dismissal. The princess get used to get what she want. When she followed Jason to US for freedom. When she find herself with nothing she return home to his father request. She did not love Jason. But it was nice Jason find true love in Mirriam. If you are a commoner never try to lure a princess because you will not provide for her need and what she use to have.

[@anthonymartinez4307]

It’s not about providing material things love is blind when it’s real. A women is just a women if her father would still gave her money do you actually think she’d stay? The answer is no. Attraction & love are not based on material possessions. The truth is woman are materialistic and she proved it.

Polygamy is not a fact. As far as she is concerned, she is her husband's only wife. A princess cannot accept that her husband has other wives of lower social rank. In the USA it's hypocritical, men have mistresses and children outside of marriage, which is a disaster for society.
