Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez break Saudi Arabian law

Cristiano Ronaldo seemed to be enjoying himself during his presentation with new club Al Nassr, as he casts off on a fresh adventure in his life.

After saying goodbye to European football, perhaps permanently, it was revealed that his former agent Jorge Mendes had also bid him farewell in the past month.

Ronaldo will embark on his new adventure alongside his children and partner Georgina Rodriguez, which has raised some questions in his new home country.

The Portuguese and Rodriguez are not yet married, and in the Kingdom it is illegal for a man and a woman to live under the same roof without being so. Yet there has been no suggestion that that will not be the case.

Sport have referenced a report from EFE, which features the professional opinion of two Saudi Arabian lawyers on the matter.

“Although the laws still prohibit cohabitation without a marriage contract, the authorities have begun to turn a blind eye and do not persecute anyone. Of course, these laws are used when there is a problem or a crime.”

This view was backed up by the second lawyer, who was not named.

“The Saudi Arabian authorities, today, do not interfere in this matter [in the case of foreigners], but the law continues to prohibit cohabitation outside of marriage.”

It appears that Ronaldo’s infringement is set to be overlooked, and it is hard to imagine a world where this does cause any issues for Ronaldo, given his profile. The cynical view might be to say that based on the testimony of the lawyers, there is one rule for those with money and another for those without it.

  1. You honestly amaze me that you dont know that laws were made only for the poor especially in Arab world and Africa??

  2. Law is for the poor only..but as muslim in islam that is forbidden..saudi should know that if its a law and forbidden in islam there is no poor or rich..

      1. The law of shariha should apply for one enters the Kingdom of Saudi.. And i am Really amazed why do some one spent a great time to gather and produce children then don’t get illegaly g married it’s naturally wrong and God well not Accept It how can you do so Just don’t get It 🙏 and it confusing

        1. Is that the case for Royal Saudis and rich around them? Grow up man. Money talks. How many Royals, in the world (like Britain and elsewhere change even religion) change rules to hide behind them? How many Royals have illigimate children?

        2. May Allah accept Homosexuality? Because u people secretly your gays is that great to your Allah 🤣🤣🤣 stop pretending that your perfect bt not🤣🤣

          1. Learn how to talk whenever its about somebody faith, gay don’t get backup in Bible and you are doing it, if at all you see one person doing what is wrong in Islam you should not attach his wrong with the religion. Whatever Islam against is can not be accept in Christianity, check your bible about Sodom & Gomorrah, they are lesbians & gay imagine what end them. Whoever God love he show true way.

  3. Well you don’t pay a guy 200M a year to put in him in jail for something that was known before signing the contract now do you?

  4. So he could go to jail??? I hope to see it on Netflix. One of the great pleasures in life.Ronaldo in Saudi prison garb begging for some decent food!! Kudos!

    1. The positive theory see law as a command from the top to the bottom .The king makes the law to be obeyed by the Slaves ( slaves )
      This is the order all over the world .when you are rich and powerful the law treats you with kid gloves .( An exception)
      However ,for the poor you have no excuse when you go contrary to the lake

  5. The law of shariha should apply for one enters the Kingdom of Saudi..

      1. That is what it is today, telling the truth is being judgemental. God does not judge without warning, and he doesn’t do the warning by himself he uses people.

  6. He ran to Middle East for retirement, y’all still go after him,
    What do you really want from this guys

  7. Agree true and simple, most laws are designed for the poor people,,, Wealthy are the ones who crafted and structured these evil laws some of them unacceptable in our cultures especially in Africa. Laws should not be universal,,, One size fits all mentality.

    1. Doesn’t Saudi Arabia sell alcohol, didn’t Saudi Arabia kill khashogg .isn’t it the same kingdom one of its princesses don’t wear hijab ..so Ronaldo a business man you prefer to catch-up with your culture..you hardly uphold!!

  8. You have just been told that , this law would apply when a problem arise ! Take an example if Ronaldo’s apartment is robbed and he takes the matter to court, now the matter might turn badly to Ronaldo that he was in first place living “wrongly” and it might be the start of case lose .

  9. They will order georgina to use the Burka , if they kiss in public places they will be arrested. That woman will get crazy in that land.

  10. It’s usually true that laws are differently interpreted when it comes to rich people mostly in Africa and Asian context.

  11. That is what it is today, telling the truth is being judgemental. God does not judge without warning, and he doesn’t do the warning by himself he uses people.

  12. People just hate him for nothing but he still does what makes him happy feed the poor make sure everything and everyone around him and out are good

  13. Rules are rules, its not true do you think using the fact that the poor has no money for a fee they’ll jail him or the “rich” they will free him for the money he has or the fame, Rules are made for the safety of population NOT for the
    Decrease of them, and look at the UAE one of the safest most organised and FAIR country i saw, I dare all of you who don’t agree with me to see what your religion has to offer and rules in it, then check the islam check whats better if islam is better then think about it and if you want join us muslims to the right path, us actual muslims respect all religions and all countries, skin colour no matter what
    Because these are rules if rules were for only the poor UAE would have not been safe at all neither all the countries. Good Luck

  14. I can say this boldly that he did not break the law that he only bends the law because he’s a foreigner and not a muslin, he’s a business man and he’s a footballer. They know all this before bidding for him. The laws are always bent for the rich anywhere in the world. Come to think of it, who are you to own a diplomatic passport if you are not a rich or not working for UN nor a top official in the government.

  15. That law !! Is it for everyhuman or just Muslims because I see no reason why it’s should apply to who it doesn’t concern 🌚

  16. How did he got working permit with everyone knowing that he is not officially married.
    Please you have to wake your mind up

  17. Learn how to talk whenever its about somebody faith, gay don’t get backup in Bible and you are doing it, if at all you see one person doing what is wrong in Islam you should not attach his wrong with the religion. Whatever Islam against is can not be accept in Christianity, check your bible about Sodom & Gomorrah, they are lesbians & gay imagine what end them. Whoever God love he show true way.
