A Saudi prince forced a senior public servant to marry to end his persistent harassments of women after he was arrested by the Gulf Kingdom’s feared religious police, a newspaper reported on Thursday.

Prince Faisal bin Khaldi bin Abdul Aziz was told that the official was seized by members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice as he was harassing women in a public place, Okaz said.

The Prince asked the police to let him handle the issue so the unnamed official will avert imprisonment and possible loss of his job.

“The Prince asked the man to marry and requested the police to carry out his instructions…the man agreed on that demand and set a day for his wedding, to which he invited Prince Faisal,” the paper said without specifying the man’s job.
