Saudi court rejects divorce plea from EIGHT-year-old girl married to 58-year-old man

I am probably going to get a fatwa put on my ass Salman Rushdie-style for saying this, but fundamentalist Islamic law is awful:

A Saudi court has rejected a plea to divorce an eight-year-old girl married off by her father to a man who is 58, saying the case should wait until the girl reaches puberty.

The divorce plea was filed in August by the girl's divorced mother with a court at Unayzah, 135 miles north of Riyadh just after the marriage contract was signed by the father and the groom.

Lawyer Abdullar Jtili said:"The judge has dismissed the plea, filed by the mother, because she does not have the right to file such a case, and ordered that the plea should be filed by the girl herself when she reaches puberty."

I realize there are differences in our culture, but I don't know how anyone would not consider this pedophilia.
