| The lawyer of an 8-year-old Saudi girl forced by her father to marry a 50-year-old man has said the girl has gotten a divorce. The girl's mother had been seeking a divorce for her daughter, who was married in August [2008]. But a Saudi judge had twice once in Dec 2008, once in early April 2009 rejected the mother's request. The girl's lawyer, Abdullah al-Jeteli, said he reached an out-of-court settlement with the man allowing the girl to divorce him. |
