JAKARTA Cristiano Ronaldo has the potential to face legal problems after deciding to join Al Nassr. This relates to his status with Georgina Rodriguez.
As is known, the two of them have not been officially integrated into the marriage bond.
The 37-year-old player did bring his family to the Arabs. The former Real Madrid and Manchester United player moved with his son and partner.
The law in Saudi Arabia is very clear. They officially prohibit unmarried men and women from living on the same roof. Two Arabic lawyers have also discussed this situation.
"Although the law still prohibits family gatherings without a marriage contract, the authorities are starting to turn a blind eye and do not punish anyone. Of course, this law is used when there is a problem or crime," they were quoted as saying by Sport.
Although there are concerns regarding the legality of their stay regulations, Ronaldo is most likely not subject to punishment. His profile as one of the star players could protect him.
However, if that happens, many people will see this leniency as a double standard. The reason is, the same rules will definitely be enforced more strictly for those who have no influence.
Saudi Arabian authorities have most likely not made Ronaldo's case a legal matter. However, if legal steps are taken, the former Real Madrid player and his girlfriend could be reorganizing their lives.
"The Saudi Arabian authorities, today, do not interfere in this matter (in the case of foreigners), but the law still prohibits living together outside of marriage," they said.
Apart from the legal issues that may arise, Ronaldo seems enthusiastic about the new stage in his life with his wife and children. He is also preparing to debut in the near future.
Ronaldo will receive a wage of IDR 3.3 trillion per year at his new club. That nominal makes him the player with the highest salary in the history of football and sport as a whole.
