WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The Biden administration ruled on Thursday that Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has immunity from a lawsuit over the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, drawing immediate condemnation from the slain journalist's former fiancee. 

Khashoggi was killed and dismembered in October 2018 by Saudi agents in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, an operation which U.S. intelligence believed was ordered by Prince Mohammed, who has been the kingdom's de facto ruler for several years. 

"Jamal died again today," Khashoggi's ex-fiancée, Hatice Cengiz, said on Twitter minutes after the news became public. She added later: "We thought maybe there would be a light to justice from #USA But again, money came first."

There was talk about 2 years ago that MBS was going to marry or wanted to soon marry the 11 year old daughter of a UAE prince.

I had a classmate get married in 6th grade at I think 12 years of age. She was very happy about getting married and enjoyed it immensely. Getting married also probably saved her life. for sure, if she had been a 6th grader in the last 20 years and been subjected the level of bullying she was hit with, she would have died.

All I know is she was Jewish and looked fully mature. Thus the bullying. IDK what her parents did, but the school was extremely expensive to attend. It cost about the same as going to a good private college. Not sure if they were locals or foreigners or whether she spoke 1 language or 3.
