First of all, this kind of marrige was here in the Kingdom since like 300 yrs back, scholrs of saudi r divided in this matter, some say they r totally against it, n it doesnt have any basis in the Islamic Sharia, n some say that nothing is wrong bout it as long as it fullfills certain criteria....hence small number of ppl parcticed that marrige...

I did some research here, the intresting thing is this wen I ask the ppl here, they dont really know by whom this marrige was legalised in the Kingdom? Did Lajnat Al-Ifta'a legalise it?!...dont know...was it legalised by the goverment?!..if yes...on wat basis did they legalize it?!

Since i live here n intrract with Saudis, I will check it out. Insha Allah.
