The family of the child bride which almost a week after marrying to a man twice her age has demanded to execute the husband who raped the bride causing her internal bleeding.
The tragedy happened as the controversy over setting the minimum marriage age remains.
Ilham Al-Ushe died on Friday of internal bleeding almost a week after her marriage.
The bride was married in an exchange deal that she married to the man whose sister married to Ilham's brother. The family urged to pass marriage age and keep penal articles for parents and husband who may violate the rules.
The hospital to which the bride was taken after her suffering said in its report Ilham arrived dead after suffering from genital bleeding.
However, the police report noted that the husband, Emad, told them that Ilham was sick and he could not sleep with her because of that.
The issue has grabbed the headlines and drawn criticism of rights activities who said the tragedy happened because of the absence of law in the country.
Last year, Parliament passed a draft law fixing the minimum age of marriage at 17 years for women and 18 years for men. But lawmakers requested to revisit the draft law and since it has not been approved.
