The Saudi Arabian Government will allow Portuguese forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, to live with his partner, Georgina Rodriguez, despite the country laws which forbids non-married couples to live together.
According to Spanish outlet, EFE, Ronaldo and Georgina would be allowed to live to live together due to Ronaldo’s status as one of the most marketable athletes in the world.
Quoting two separate Saudi lawyers, the legal professionals expect the relevant authorities to not become involved in Ronaldo’s situation.
One said: ‘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.’
After leaving Manchester United, the 37-year-old Portuguese star signed with Al-Nassr last month and is expected to make £175 million annually.
On Tuesday, January 3, he made his public debut in front of 25,000 spectators at Mrsool Park in Riyadh, over a backdrop of pyrotechnics, flares, and strobe lighting.
At his debut, Ronaldo’s family was also present on the field.
