Married affair

A single male friend of mine who lives in Kuwait came over last night for a movie and a chat. He complained that he couldn't get any action. There are no clubs to go and meet the ladies so he's only left with one option - internet dating.
He was lucky enough to met a few ladies from Romania and Philippines (and even a girl from Kuwait). Wait... don't get too excited. He only met them for coffee in Starbucks. Things like that don't happen quickly in this dry state.
To my friend's surprise one of the girls was married. This made me wonder: have the boundaries in marriage moved towards more freedom? Are women starting to behave like men in a relationship?
