Wives in Saudi Arabia will be given a copy of their marriage contract for the first time to protect their rights, newspapers reported on Tuesday.

Justice Minister Waleed Al Samaani instructed courts in the Gulf kingdom to issue two copies of the marriage contract so wives will also get one.

“This will guarantee wife’s rights as she needs such a document when there is a dispute in court with her husband,” Samaani said.
