In-laws from hell* get a judge to annul couple’s marriage. Now they can’t live together with being, I dunno, beaten, imprisoned, something like that.

AP forgot to add “and the laws are medieval.”
What, and offer criticism of a country other than the United States? Please! The AP leadership has more nuance than that, surely..

I forgot to add…..
Any resemblance is purely coincidental.
But uncanny in how it does resemble Hell. Purely by coincidence, of course.

TRJS, “But uncanny in how it does resemble Hell. Purely by coincidence, of course.”
Jeff, that’s because they’ve labored mightily to create a Wahhabi heaven on Earth. Can they say ’success’?
Can we say ‘That’s all folks’?

Calling Saudi laws medieval is an insult to the Middle Ages, when both the Common Law of England and the Civil Law of the Continent were created. Anyway, Saudi Law is firmly rooted in the 7th Century, which most historians call the Dark Ages.

I guess anulling the daughter’s marriage out from under her is the Saudi idea of civilization. After all, her family could have just murdered her for “dishonoring” them.
