Child bride turned over to 80-year-old husband

AL-LAITH: A 10-year-old bride was returned last Sunday

to her 80-year-old husband by her father who discovered

her at the home of her aunt with whom she has been hiding

for around 10 days.
A local newspaper said the husband, who denies he is 80 in

spite of claims by the girl's family, accused the aunt of meddling

in his affairs.

"My marriage is not against Shariah. It included the

elements of acceptance and response by the father of the bride,"

he said.
He added that he had been engaged to his wife's elder sister

and that this broke off as she wanted to continue with her

education.

"In light of this, her father offered his younger daughter.

I was allowed to have a look at her according to Shariah and

found her acceptable," he said.
Maatouq Al-Abdullah, a member of the National Society for

Human Rights (NSHR), said there is no system in place

regulating the marriage of young girls, something that he said

results in adverse psychological, health and social effects.
"Such marriages are considered a gross violation of charters

on the rights of children, which the Kingdom has signed and

which set the age of adulthood at 18," he added.
