Cristiano Ronaldo will always be synonymous with news. His arrival in Saudi football has not only caused a stir in the Sports field, but also in the legal one. And it is that, initially, the Portuguese star could not live with his girlfriend, Georgina Rodríguez, since they were not married. Why? In Saudi Arabia There is a law that prohibits a couple from living together if they have not married. However, for ‘CR7′ there would be an “alternative”, they allege from the Asian country.
Can Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez live together in Arabia despite not being married?
Two Saudi lawyers, specializing in civil law, said the strict conservative laws of the Islamic state have been losing relevance for expatriates.
“Although the laws of the kingdom still prohibit cohabitation without a marriage contract, the authorities have recently started to turn a blind eye and no longer persecute anyone, although these laws are used when there is a problem or a crime”pointed out one of the lawyers to EFE.
Another of the specialists explained that, currently, Saudi officials “no longer interfere in this matter.” “In the case of foreigners it is similar, the Police no longer investigate or persecute anyone,” explained another Asian lawyer, who preferred to remain anonymous as a precaution.
In conclusion, Cristiano Ronaldo and his girlfriend Georgina could live together in Saudi Arabia due to “little control” carried by the Arab authorities with respect to the aforementioned regulations.
