A Bahraini court sentenced a 33-year-old Saudi man to one year in jail for prostituting his wife and living off the money she earned, press reported Thursday.
The couple were arrested after the girl invited an undercover police officer to their home and charged him 50 Bahraini dinars (approximately 130 dollars) for sex, Bahrain's Gulf Daily News reported.
The 16-year-old told the Lower Criminal Court that her husband helped her find clients and she would give him what she had earned, the paper said. The Saudi girl admitted to working as a prostitute and was sentenced to six months in jail.
