@Straightpath.

okay, talking about saudi royals... the other day i was reading a book on saudi princesses and i was appalled to read that these poor princesses are forced to marry whoever their father chooses for them to marry, even if the guy is sixty years old (which is often the case)!!! i know this is not related to the topic,,, but i'm just curious to know if this still happens in saudi or did things change since that book was printed? lol!

They are still stuck with some of the Jahiliya mentality of the age of ignorance such as not allowing other non Saudi Muslims to marry Saudis or vice versa.

to answer your question, nothing has changed in regards to that matter.
