Despite Saudi Arabia’s rigorous marriage laws, Cristiano Ronaldo will be able to live with Georgina Rodriguez
There is always room for an exception.
According to reports, the attractive couple Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez will be exempt from Saudi Arabia’s harsh prohibition on unmarried couples sharing a home.
Can Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez live together in Saudi Arabia despite no marriage due to cohabitation law in the country
At the 25,000-person Mrsool Park, Ronaldo was introduced as an Al-Nassr player earlier this week. Georgina, his partner of over six years, and his family were in attendance. However, as they are not legally married, the couple’s cohabitation would technically be against Saudi law.
According to Sport, who also claims that Ronaldo, a father of five, and mother of two Georgina, will get a pass because he is one of the most marketable players in the world.
Saudi won’t involve in Ronaldo’s matter.
The report continues by quoting two Saudi lawyers who forecast that authorities won’t get involved. “Even though the rules still forbid cohabitation without a marriage contract, the authorities have started to turn a blind eye and do not prosecute anyone,” one person claimed. Of course, when there is a problem or a crime, these laws are used.
The law still forbids cohabitation outside of marriage, but the Saudi Arabian authorities currently do not intervene in this matter [in the case of foreigners].
Ronaldo has not yet played in the Middle East.
Ronaldo cannot be registered by Al-Nassr since they have reached their limit on foreign players. This implies that before the Portuguese star plays, the club will need to either sell or fire one of its foreign players. According to a representative of Al-Nassr, Al-Nassr has not yet registered him because there is no opening for a foreign player. A foreign player must depart in order to register Ronaldo, either by selling or by mutually agreeing to end the contract.
Following his contentious departure from Manchester United, the 37-year-old last month joined Al-Nassr and is expected to earn £175 million annually. Ronaldo and Rodriguez have two daughters together, Bella and Alana, whom they had while Ronaldo was a player for Real Madrid in 2016. Along with twins Mateo and Eva, Ronaldo also has a son named Cristiano Jr.
