Saudi Judge Upholds Marriage to 8yo
"The relative said the judge, Sheikh Habib Al-Habib, stuck by his earlier verdict and insisted that the girl could petition the court for a divorce once she reached puberty. The family member, who requested anonymity, added that the mother will continue to pursue a divorce for her daughter." By no means an ordinary marriage, the 8yo was sold by her father into marriage to pay a debt. Got to love Saudi Arabia.
