Kuwait newspaper Al Anba first reported news of the dowry.

The Saudi man who demanded the iPhone won't let his sister get married until he has the smartphone in hand, according to the Independent.

It's unclear if he asked for the iPhone 6 or 6 Plus.

Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) for everyone involved, the iPhone 6 won't be available in Saudi Arabia until Sept. 26.
