A MAN of 92 has been banned from marrying a girl of just 17.
The unidentified Saudi proposed to her on a holiday in Egypt, offering a dowry worth £14,000 plus gold jewellery.
Her poverty-stricken parents accepted the offer but Egypts justice ministry refused to register the marriage under a law to prevent wealthy Arabs from buying young Egyptian girls.
It forbids marriage when there is an age gap of 25 years or more. Their gap was 75 years.
But local press said 173 such marriages went ahead last year after foreigners paid cash into the Egyptian National Bank.
