A Saudi girl vanished just a few days before her wedding while she was shopping with her mother for the marriage, a newspaper reported on Wednesday.

The girl was with her mother and little sister in a shopping centre in the Western town of Makkah when the mother decided to go to a nearby mosque for evening prayers. 

The would-be bride, in her 20s, went to a nearby bank to withdraw money from the cash machine and they agreed to meet later near the mosque.

"The mother and her little daughter finished prayers and waited outside the mosque…but the bride did not turn up," Sabq daily said.

"The mother went to a nearby police station and informed them about her missing daughter…they searched through the shopping centre but did not find her."
