15-year-old Saudi girl flees from 90-year-old husband
Another case of bridemongering underaged girls in the House of Saud, and this one was understandably scared of the mouldy creep and managed to flee:
The unnamed husband is now suing her parents for recovery of the £10,750 dowry he paid to secure marriage to his child bride.Note that there seems to be a typo - that should be the bride and her parents. That aside, how pathetic that the mouldy bread loaf is complaining and making accusations against the girl and her parents when he should know better than to covet an underaged girl in the first place.
Newspaper reports in the conservative Islamic state said the girl had managed to secure herself in the marital bedroom before escaping two days later to her parents' home.
The groom told Al-Hayat newspaper that he suspected the groom and her parents had set out to swindle him of the 65,000 Saudi Riyals dowry.
"I feel that there is a conspiracy by her mother against me," he said. "I will go to court tomorrow and demand that her parents give me back my money."
However campaigners in Saudi Arabia have called on the authorities to intervene to ensure the girl in Jizan, a southern town near the border with Yemen, is not returned to the man.
