...Pakistan. The judges ruled that Saima's marriage was valid a nd did not violate Islamic doctrine. What the split on was whether the law permits women to make their own choices in marriage. One of the three judges said the marriage should be annulled. Another said it was legal. The third came out somewhere in the m iddle, saying women normally need their parents' permission to marry, but that Waheed's parents gave their tacit consent by allowing the man who would become their daughter's husband into their home...
