Saudi court tells girl aged EIGHT she cannot divorce husband who is 50 years
her senior

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."
