But the man agreed to postpone his marriage after the Saudi National Human Rights Association sent a letter to the Emir of Hail,... Saudi National Human Rights Association?
This is a joke, yes? Is this the Asian version of the Onion?

Saudi sociologist Abdullah Al-Harbi said that marriages like this one usually involve the groom-to-be paying huge amounts of money to marry a much younger girl. In this case the father of the girl asked for a 100,000-riyal ($26,656) dowry. And now you understand the frequency of "honor killing". If a daughter loses her virginity, her bride price goes to zero. If she refuses to marry the guy her dad arranges for her, her dad has to give the money back

Does anyone know where they have the BRIDAL REGISTRY? I was going to see if they were registered at Victoria’s Secret in Riyadh.

Since when is 60 considered elderly? Since when has a 60-year-old not been old when seen through the eyes of a 10-year-old?

A 10-year-old didn't author the article, though.Well, I like to think 60-year olds aren't elderly, since I'm 58.
But I should point out at that at my local chain movieplex theater here in Metrowest Massachusetts, I qualify for the senior citizen discount, which kicks in at 55.
