There is a hullabaloo in Saudi Arabia about a marriage contract between an 8-year-old girl and a 47-year-old man. The Human Rights Commission has come out against the marriage. The Justice Department is talking about enacting a law to make 15 the minimum age for marriage. Some Muslims believe child marriage is against the Koran.
Progress often moves very slowly, but clearly there are signs of positive change here.
