A 23 year old girl, forced to marry at ten in Saudi Arabia was ordered to pay the equivalent of 16,750 euros to obtain a divorce from his husband, according to Saudi daily al-Watan.
The girl, deemed as a 'rebel' by a judge in the capital, Riyadh, was forced to marry a 67-year-old man due to her family's economic problems, in exchange for a dowry of 100,000 Saudi riyals (16,750 euros).
According to the judge, the girl does not have any grounds for divorce, but if she wants to divorce the husband, she must return the dowry given to the family 13 years ago.
The father of the girl, regrets having married her daughter so young, saying "I made a mistake by forcing my daughter to marry. If she wants to re-marry, it will be her decision who to do it with.
"The father of the 23-year-old woman also pleaded for help in order to collect the 100,000 riyal dowry that must be returned."I ask those who have the possibility to help my daughter to find the money needed to return the dowry. I cannot help her because our family does not have the economic means," concluded the father.
On Wednesday, a court in neighbouring Yemen annulled the marriage of an eight-year-old girl and a 30-year-old man. 
The girl alleged her husband had beaten and raped her although under Yemeni law a groom is not allowed to have sex with his child bride until she reaches puberty.
Grosss. Totally gross.
ReplyDeleteWhy did the Yemeni court annul the marriage between a man 30 and a girl 8? Mahomet aged about 50 married Aisha aged 6 and had raped her when she was 9. Surely the Yemeni court is condemning Mahomet of rape if it has annulled this "marriage" between an older man and a minor.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the Ayatollah Ruhullah Khomeini (in his book Thahureerul Vaseelath) , Mohamed also enjoyed having sex between Aisha's thighs until she was 9.
