A Turkish villager who ran away with his friend's wife has offered his own wife in exchange, newspapers said on Thursday.I suspect if Mr. Shakes offered me up as so much chattel in such an exchange, I’d have a comment to make about the situation. I also suspect, however, it would be similarly reported that I had declined to comment, once the printability of its contents were considered.
Farm laborer Cengiz Esme said Gulhan, his wife of 18 years, disappeared a month ago after leaving their village to go shopping in the southern Turkish town of Tarsus.
The 36-year-old said his village friend Mehmet Yaksi had telephoned him the next day and said: "I've run off with your wife .... You take my wife," the Radikal daily reported.
Esme pleaded for Gulhan to return and said he was ready to forgive her and make a fresh start elsewhere. The reports said Yaksi's wife, a mother of three, declined to comment on the situation.
