17. Hussein Was Married To Sajida Talfah... Who Was Also His Cousin
Although one was never officially confirmed, Hussein had two wives - the second of who was named Samira Shahbandar. However, his official marriage was to Sajida Khairallah Talfah - who also happened to be his cousin - in an arranged ceremony. From infancy until the age of three Hussein lived with his maternal uncle Khairallah Talffah's family. Then, when he was 10, Hussein fled once more from his maternal family and back to his uncle's, where he lived with his future wife Sajida Talfah too. Hussein was 21 when he married Talfah - who was said to be enraged when her husband became wed for a second time.
