JEDDAH: A fake marriage broker has placed an advertisement online offering eligible young men the chance to meet the bride of their dreams for a dowry of SR5,000.
The advert provided 30 telephone numbers of matchmakers for “chaste ... Arab girls in Riyadh.” However, none of the numbers worked, according to a report in a local publication.
Legal consultant Bayan Zahran said that these adverts are placed on social media to exploit people and would only be stopped if the authorities track down and prosecute the perpetrators.
