This is a crime if I ever saw one. In this article, it says that Saudi clerics have authorized the marriage of girls as young as 10. In one case, the petition of a mother trying to annul the arranged marriage of her 8 year old little girl to the child's father's 47 year old business associate, was dismissed but the judge did make the man sign a promise not to consummate the "marriage" until the child reaches puberty. Outrageous and sick.
