Carolyn, of course it's believable. In a Saudi context, it's normal. The minimum age of marriage for girls in traditional Muslim societies is twelve.

I wasn't asking you about law. But, if that's your basis, then is he correct by going along with his country's laws? Tom

Re: The fact that an adult male has to ask this question sets off alarm bells in my mind. We're talking about a 46-year-old man and a 13-year-old girl! That's about the same age difference as between Gary Condit (53) and Chandra Levy (24)... Now, don't get me wrong --I can see the difference between a 13-year-old and a 20-something... But hey, if you wanna bomb a pedophile den, go for Bangkok... BTW, any news from Chandra? mpdc.org cnn.com
