She and her husband were re-arrested leaving the country:
Originally posted by Fox NewsSudanese authorities have re-arrested a young mother a day after she was freed from death row where she'd been sent for refusing to renounce her Christian faith, according to a report.
Meriam Ibrahim, who gave birth in a Khartoum prison after being sentenced to death in May for allegedly converting from Islam to Christianity, was arrested with her husband at Khartoum airport as she tried to leave the country, Sky News reports.
A source told Sky News that Ibrahim and Daniel Wani were taken to a facility used by Sudan’s National Intelligence and Security Service."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

Update:
Originally posted by One News NowLawyer Eman Abdul-Rahim told The Associated Press that the 27-year-old Meriam Ibrahim was held along with two children and her husband at the international airport in Khartoum, the country's capital. Abdul-Rahim did not elaborate and security officials did not respond to requests for comment.
U.S. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf told reporters in Washington that the Sudanese government had informed American officials at the embassy in Khartoum that Ibrahim and her family were "temporarily detained" over issues relating their travel documents.
Harf said the Sudanese have assured the U.S. that the family is not under arrest and that they are safe. She said U.S. officials are continuing to work on getting them out of the country.

Originally posted by KingsGambit View PostAs in the actual marriage.
As for Khomeini, he wrote that marrying a girl before she began menstruating was "a divine blessing" and advised fathers to "do your best to ensure that your daughters do not see their first blood in your house." In fact one of Khomeini's first acts after taking power in Iran after the Shah fled was to lower the age that a girl can be married to nine.

Originally posted by Fox NewsThe Sudanese Christian woman who was detained by police a day after her death sentence was lifted has been freed again, The Associated Press reported.
Citing Meriam Ibrahim's attorney, Eman Abdul-Rahman, the news agency said the 27-year-old woman, who gave birth in prison before a Sudanese tribunal overruled a lower court and freed her, had been released. She was detained at the airport in Khartoum Tuesday after Sudanese officials accused her of using falsified travel documents in a bid to go to South Sudan.
