Marriage of 90-year-old Saudi man, 15-year-old girl sparks controversy

While it’s not unusual for an older man to marry a younger wife in Saudi culture, the recent marriage of a 90-year-old Saudi man to a 15-year-old girl is raising human rights questions.
In an interview with the Al Arabiya news channel, the elderly groom said his marriage was “legal and correct” and noted he paid the girl’s parents a $17,500 dowry.
But the man told the station that on the couple’s first night together, his new bride locked him out of their bedroom. Family friends said the teen was scared on her wedding night and locked herself in the room for two straight days before fleeing to her parents’ home.
The groom said he would sue the girl’s parents if they didn’t return the dowry or send his bride back.
Saudi National Association for Human Rights member Suhaila Zein al-Abedin urged authorities to get involved, according to Al Arabiya.
Abedin said marriage in Islam must be based on mutual consent and the girl’s behavior indicates she was not satisfied with the arrangement.
The teen’s parents-- a Saudi mother and Yemeni father – should also be held responsible for marrying their daughter to such an old man, Abedin noted.

The "Human Rights" Organization in mooslim countries do not give two shits for women or girls in their domain...

[DlistCelebutard]

Snot, I beg to differ...these Human Rights organizations are trying to overcome the atrocities in their countries much like the US tried to do in the last 100 yrs...it takes time, and what it mostly takes is all the ode fucks dying off to make room for new, and modern ideas...

He'll consumate the marriage by her wiping his ass when he shits himself.

[tHISisKiSSeL]

does she get passed down in the will to continue the slavery or is she free when he croaks?

[isabella]

all cultures are equal, right?

[FishySausage]

At least the parents have the option of returning the girl OR the money

So they are behind...I get that..but at least some of the woman and some Human Rights organizations are trying to make things right.

[pontius pilot]

the koran tells us that muhammad married a six year old, aisha. but don't worry guys, he waited until she was nine to consummate the marriage.


however, all cultures/religions/nations are relative and we should not judge.
