Saudi Arabia Adjusts Its Marriage Laws For Ronaldo And His Partner

Despite Saudi Arabia’s rules prohibiting unmarried couples from living in, Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez will be permitted to do so.

According to reports, the country is ready to amend its marital laws to permit Cristiano Ronaldo, the new star signing for Al Nassr, to live with his partner. The 37-year-old sported an Al-Nassr shirt earlier this week for his introduction following his high-profile move on Tuesday, which attracted a great crowd.

Saudi lawyers, however, have informed the Spanish international news outlet EFE that the authorities will ‘turn a blind eye’ to the celebrity couple living in the.

“Nowadays Saudi authorities no longer interfere in this matter – for expatriates – even though the law prohibits cohabitation without marriage,” stated another lawyer. Rodriguez, who is the mother of two of Ronaldo’s children, will still require a visa to reside in the Gulf country despite the exemptions since marriage does not grant legal citizenship.

Due to weather-related issues that affected the stadium’s energy, Al-Nassr postponed their Saudi Pro League match against Al Ta’ee by one day on Thursday. Ronaldo, however, won’t be playing. Despite rumors that Al-Nassr may appeal the ban, they have decided to delay Ronaldo’s debut because he is scheduled to serve a two-game suspension that he received in England.

Ronaldo is now the highest-paid football player in the world due to the massive £173 million contract he signed with Al Nassr.
