Mehrab Kaboli

Mehrāb Kāboli (Persian: مهراب کابلی) or Mehrāb, is a character in Persian epic Shahnameh. He is king of Kabol and is most famous for being father of Rudaba and grandfather of her son, the famous Persian hero, Rostam. Mehrab is mentioned as a descendant of Zahak which is why initially everyone is against the union between his daughter and her future husband Zal. His wife is Sindukht.

gollark: No, as in I don't think marriage laws are written to handle it, but it's not actually illegal to be in a polygamous relationship in most places as far as I know.
gollark: I mean, it isn't illegal as much as somewhat frowned upon socially, and not recognized by government (and probably issue-creating wrt. government handling of children because of this?).
gollark: Yes, this can be derived from the axioms for... rings, I think? What of it?
