An eight year old girl who had been married off to a 50 year old had her marriage annulled in an out of court settlement. The girl's mother tried to have the marriage ended but Saudi courts rejected her case twice.
These kinds of cases are endemic to islam and we will continue to read about stories like these. Nothing has changed in Saudi Arabia. BBC
Media reports say an arranged marriage between a Saudi girl aged eight and a man in his 50s has been annulled, in a case attracting worldwide criticism.
The Saudi Gazette says the divorce was agreed in an out-of-court settlement after a judge rejected two attempts to grant the girl a divorce.[...]
The judge who first heard the case in the town of Unaiza refused to end the marriage at the request of the girl's mother , but he stipulated the groom could not have sex with the girl until she reached puberty.
