In a circular released on Tuesday by the Saudi Ministry of Justice, the Government has directed that nobody aged less than 18 years should be married. Now marriage requests are to be referred to the specialised court to complete the formalities in line with the Child Protection Law.
Before this law, child marriages were commonplace in Saudi Arabia with one in seven girls marrying before the age of 18.
