A Saudi man aged around 90 married a 15-year old girl, but she then locked
herself up in her room for two days before fleeing back to her family, prompting
threats by the man to sue her parents.
Relatives said the girl told them that she was so
frightened when her bridegroom came close to her that she ran into her room and
locked herself up.
“She remained inside her room for two days before sneaking
out and fleeing back to her family,” the Saudi Alhayat daily said in a report
from the southern province of Jazan.
The London-based newspaper quoted the man as saying he had
paid SR65,000 (Dh64,000) dowry (money paid by a man to his bride under Islamic
law) for her Yemeni father, adding that her mother is Saudi.
“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.”
