Saudi Arabia will reportedly allow ace Football player Cristiano Ronaldo and his partner Georgina Rodriguez, to live tightened despite their law that prevents such.
The country law forbids non-married couples to live together. A marriage certificate is needed to co-habit in the middle easter nation.
According to two separate Saudi lawyers, there is an expectation for 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.’
The 37-year-old Portuguese star joined Al-Nassr last month after his exit from Manchester United and will reportedly earn £175m a year.
He was unveiled to fans on Tuesday January 3, in front of 25,000 supporters at Mrsool Park in Riyadh, to a backdrop of fireworks, flares, and strobe lighting.
Spanish outlet SPORT, has now revealed that by living with Rodriguez, the pair will be breaking Saudi law.
As Rodriguez and Ronaldo aren’t married yet, they would technically be in breach of Saudi law.
But, SPORT’s report goes on to state, that according to EFE, a Spanish news agency, due to Ronaldo’s status as one of the most marketable athletes in the world, the Portuguese star is unlikely to be punished.
