Combinatorics 2007-06-13 v2

Abstract

The probleme des menages (married couples problem) introduced by E.Lucas in 1891 is a classical problem that asks the number of ways to arrange n married couples around a circular table, so that husbands and wives are in alternate places but no couple is seated together. In this paper we present a new version of the Menage Problem that carries the constraints consistent with the Muslim culture.
