From the article:

“On Sunday, the government-run Human Rights Commission condemned marriages of minor girls, saying such marriages are an ‘inhumane violation’ and rob children of their rights.
The commission’s statement followed a ruling by a court in Oneiza in central Saudi Arabia last month that dismissed a divorce petition by the mother of an eight-year-old girl whose father married her off to a man in his 50s.
Newspaper reports said the court argued that the mother did not have the right to file such a case on behalf of her daughter and said that the petition should be filed by the girl when she reaches puberty.”

So, the mother of a minor doesn’t have the right to file on behalf of her daughter, but the child herself must wait until puberty? Who determines when that is? And why can she only speak for herself at the time of puberty, yet she is old enough for marriage beforehand?

This is insane and sick! Just disgusting!
