The article is discussing how Cristiano Ronaldo's move to the Saudi Arabian team Al Nasr has raised issues regarding his living arrangements with his girlfriend and children, as cohabitation without marriage is considered a crime under Saudi Arabian law. It is stated that Ronaldo has begun his adventure with Arabian football and has been warmly welcomed by signing a two and a half year contract worth an estimated €200 million per year. The Spanish news agency EFE has reported that despite the Saudi Arabian laws, some Saudi lawyers believe that the authorities will overlook the violation in this case, and that Ronaldo's girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez, may be able to live with him in Riyadh even if they are not married. However, it is mentioned that while Saudi law prohibits cohabitation without marriage, authorities have begun to overlook such crimes and not enforce these laws.
