Recalling the incident, Saba revealed that she was 15 years old while Soha was just 13 when Saif got married. She said, "He got married when we were in school. We got a call in the principal’s office from the parents saying you won’t tell anyone anything. We don’t know how real the news is because it was in the newspapers by then. So we were told that we shouldn’t."
