64-Year Old Saudi Marries 10-Year Old Girl

Elder of Ziyon

In the Saudi province of Hail, a 64-year old Saudi man has married a 10-year old girl.

You see, the new husband only had one wife and was being taunted by the father of the 10-year old. He dared him to marry his daughter, and sweetened the deal by offering 100,000 Saudi Riyals (about $26,000) as a dowry.

Since this was now a matter of honor, of course the man took the girl and the money.

But don’t worry - he promises that he won’t sleep with her until she is 15 (and he is 69.)

So she won’t really be like a wife to him, merely a slave as she waits expectantly for that magical night in five years.
