The Saudi Justice Minister Walid Mohammed Al-Samaani says he is pursuing a mazoun (marriage official) for marrying a 10-year-old girl, the Saudi Gazette has reported, quoting ministry sources.

The sources said the minister has forwarded the marriage contract to the Ministry of Labour and Social Development to decide on the marriage official’s violation of the Child Protection Law.

Under the system, mazouns should not conduct marriage contracts involving girls who are under 17 years of age.

According to the ministry, such marriages will only be solemnised by courts so as to protect the underage girls against any physical or psychological harms.

The ministry did not identify the mazoun nor the girl, the medium stated.
