BAHA, 22 August 2003 — A 13-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl got married recently in Al-Mandaq province in Baha. The groom’s father, who is a sprightly 74, was delighted to live to see his only son’s wedding day. “I have no other relatives. I have only my child, Maher. He was born to me by my dear late wife when I was over sixty, after I believed myself infertile for decades. He is now in the second year of middle school and the bride is in sixth grade. I know they do not realize the responsibilities of marriage, but I will raise them together until they understand what marriage is. All I want is to see my grandchild before I die,” he said.
