The 70 year old apparently complained after he paid $20,000 the the Girl's family, as some time after their wedding, they took the 15 year old back to her hometown of Al-Hurath Village in Jizan Province. He felt ripped off.
However, human rights authorities believe that the 15 year old girl and the 70 year old man had a fight, and the child bride ran back to her family. Dr. Suhaia Zein Al-Abedin, a member of the Saudi National Association for Human Rights, said, "when you consider the very large difference in age, it looks more like this was not a marriage, but like the girl was sold. The girl's parents need to be held responsible for this."
This is absolutely true. This isn't even a situation where the girl has fallen in love with an older man and wanted to get married. Her parents sold her to him, and that is completely inappropriate!
