Father and daughter
Despite being one of the wealthiest states outside of the West, Saudi Arabia still has one of the most backwards society in the world.
A married couple was forcibly divorced by a lower court because apparently the husband’s family’s social standing was “beneath that of” the girl’s family. The girl’s brothers felt that the groom had misled them about his backwards even though they had previously established his lineage.
This was despite several years of marriage, a 6-year old daughter and another son.
Thankfully, the Supreme Court overturned the lower court’s ruling, finally allowing the couple to remain married.
