Maha Al Tamimi's uncles had called on the judge to bring an end to their niece's marriage to a soldier stationed in South Saudi Arabia, near the border with Yemen.
They claimed she had married him without her father's approval even though she claimed it was because her uncles thought the couple did not have 'compatible family origins'.
She has now appealed through the media for Saudi authorities to intervene and overturn the judgment.
According to Emirates247, Tamimi claimed she had been given the go ahead to get married by her older brother.
She said she had not received her father's consent because he had taken a second wife and no-longer lived with the family.
The website said she had claimed to have been mistreated by her father and even took him to court in the past because he rejected all her potential suitors.
She is quoted as saying: 'My uncles claimed in court that I married against my father’s wish - but their real reason is that and I and my husband do not have compatible family origins as they believe.
'I appeal for the Monarch to intervene to save me and my baby.'
Her husband claimed the judge backed his wife's uncles because he lived in the same neighbourhood.
Tamimi's appeal sparked anger and some of those who saw it have called on authorities to intervene.
wonders shall never end in this life.
