In the Saudi culture, it is not beyond the norm for an older man to take a younger bride. However, the recent marriage of a 90-year-old man to a 15-year-old girl is raising the ire of folks around the globe, with many saying that the union is a human rights violation.

According to the unidentified groom, he feels his marriage to the young girl is legal and that he paid her parents a handsome dowry for her, SAR 65,000 (or $17,500).  The nonagenarian described his wedding night to Al Arabiya: The child entered their bedroom before he did, then immediately locked the door behind her so that he could not enter. She locked herself in the bedroom for a solid two days before running back to her parent’s home because she was reportedly frightened out of her wits

The man felt as if the girl and her mother had plotted the scenario and that it was some kind of conspiracy against him. Now, the elderly man is planning on suing his in-laws to get the girl back or demand that they return his dowry monies
