A Saudi court has rejected a plea to divorce an eight-year-old girl married off by her father to a man who is 58, saying the case should wait until the girl reaches puberty.
The divorce plea was filed in August by the girl's divorced mother with a court at Unayzah, 135 miles north of Riyadh just after the marriage contract was signed by the father and the groom.
Lawyer Abdullar Jtili said:"The judge has dismissed the plea, filed by the mother, because she does not have the right to file such a case, and ordered that the plea should be filed by the girl herself when she reaches puberty."
Grooms take part in a mass wedding ceremony in Riyadh in June. Governor of Riyadh Prince Salman and a local group organized a mass wedding for about 1600 couples to help people unable to afford expensive ceremonies.
"She doesn't know yet that she has been married," Jtili said then of the girl who was about to begin her fourth year at primary school.
Relatives who did not wish to be named said that the marriage had not yet been consummated, and that the girl continued to live with her mother.
They said that the father had set a verbal condition by which the marriage is not consummated for another 10 years, when the girl turns 18.
The father had agreed to marry off his daughter for an advance dowry of £5,000,
as he was apparently facing financial problems, they said.
The father was in court and he remained adamant in favour of the marriage, they added.
Mr Jtili said he was going to appeal the verdict at the court of cassation, the supreme court in the ultra-conservative kingdom which applies Islamic Sharia law in its courts.
Arranged marriages involving pre-adolescents are occasionally reported in the
Arabian Peninsula, including in Saudi Arabia where the strict conservative Wahabi version of Sunni Islam holds sway and polygamy is common.

In Yemen in April, another girl aged eight was granted a divorce after her unemployed father forced her to marry a man of 28.
Muslims are a set of perverted evil paedophiles, and it's not just happening over Saudi , it's also happening all over Great Britain, and all over Europe. England alone has over 82 Sharia law courts, which allows for this kind of marriage to take place. Muslims do not accept the British law courts, so brain dead Cameron lets then have their own law system.
So when a British man is arrested for molesting underage children, he goes before the courts, and then sent to prison for it, in the Sharia law courts, there is no such thing as molesting underage children, it is not seen as an offence, and when the Muslim child groomers were having underage sex, the Muslims thought they had done nothing wrong, because this is what Muslims do, and it is also in the Koran, and that is the paedophile book in which they follow.
A Muslim can play with a child as young as one year old, to the normal race, this is sickening, but to the Muslim race, it is quite normal./ Great Britain is full of Muslim paedophiles, and when you see a Muslim man out with his wife and children, no one would ever give it a thought that those children might also be his wives, there is no age limit to when a Muslim man can pick his bride, They are sick, they are perverts and they are paedophiles, who follows the paedophile Mohammed.
Here are two short videos on what Muslim men can do, it is sickening, and it will make your blood boil, and it you happen to live next door to Muslims, then this sort of thing could well be going on.
