      <title>Saudi Arabia announces change in marriage rules</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330384235/saudi-arabia-announces-change-in-marriage-rules</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Social Development Bank in Saudi Arabia has announced a significant increase in the marriage loan amount, now set at 72,000 Riyals for Saudi citizens.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reports indicate that the loan can be repaid through manageable installments over a four-year period.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The bank has stated that the loan will be forgiven in the event of the borrower’s death, as per the terms of the insurance policy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Eligibility criteria for the loan require applicants to be between 18 and 70 years old, and individuals with a monthly income exceeding 14,500 Riyals will not qualify.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The loan is designated for first marriages, though a loan may be obtained for a second marriage if the wife has passed away.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Applicants are required to provide a certified marriage certificate, and loans will not be approved if more than two years have elapsed since the marriage.&lt;/p&gt;
