Abu Dhabi: no divorce for woman beaten, cheated on and deserted

But at least she doesn't have to live with him. Women's Rights In Islam Update: "Divorce plea rejected, but alimony raised," from the Khaleej Times, with thanks to Sr. Soph:

ABU DHABI — The Federal Supreme Court has rejected a plea for divorce by a wife who was beaten, cheated and dumped by her husband after 21 days of marriage. The court granted the wife a Dh2,000 monthly alimony, while quashing a previous verdict forcing her to return home and be obedient to her husband.

Omaya Abdulazeez filed a lawsuit before the Abu Dhabi Court of First Instance, demanding a monthly alimony, divorce and all her rights from the abusive husband Husam Alyan. She claimed that after the marriage, her husband refused to support her financially, beat her up and kicked her out of his house, all because she did not accept his misbehaviour, including having sex outside marriage. However, the husband filed a counter suit demanding that his wife be forced to return home and be obedient to him.

The story does not suprise me at all. Once again, this needs to be repeated: Islam is an oppresive faith when it comes to women and girls, period. That faith has always been good to the men and boys.

... and yet, more and more white women embrace Islam as 'a beautiful faith', until they find out that Shada was their 'submission or death' contract but alas, too late to do anything but to smile and call it 'a beautiful faith' or die.

Jill, wherever in Ireland are you? If you're gonna be a cow, my advice is to date a bull, not a Moslem.

What you said, Mercy.

After they take over, Oprah can be the first to have a publicly executed clitorodectomy. On camera, with Dr. Phil narrating in hushed tones like a golf announcer. It'll be a smash ratings hit. And so many suburban housewives will mist up and weep.

Hmmm....I guess he never heard about the guy that beat his wife and cheated on her. He came home one night and she sewed the sheets around him in the bed. She went into the kitchen and got her heaviest cast iron frying pan and beat the crap out of him. He never did it again.

Or of course there's the Lorena Bobbitt story.

Or there's always the Lizzie Borden story to totally get rid of him.

This woman needs to get a little imaginative. If the judge won't put him in line, she needs to.

To Free Woman;

Ouch!!!

From the above article;

She claimed that after the marriage, her husband refused to support her finacially, beat her up and kicked her out of his house, all because she did not accept his misbehaviour, including having sex outside marriage. However, the husband filed a counter suit demanding that his wife be forced to return home and be obedient to him."

What a sad case of, "having your cake and eating to," on the part of this husband!

Ironman, that's why I gave the suggestions. If it took him going to a judge to make her come back home, she could make him rue the day he went to court.

Apparently there is no difference in being in a muslim marriage and muslim prison. Either one would make you want to slit your wrists.

To Free Woman:

I agree with you. If this woman had done just an iota of what her husband did, then she would've been ordered by an Islamic court of sharia law to be hung by the neck until dead or buried waist deep in a hole and stoned to death. And maybe with the crowd being led by her philanderous scum of a husband.

RReading such things reminds me of a woman I knew in Texas who married a Gulf Arab; he took her to Saudi Arabia and dumped her. He had said he had had "second thoughts" about her "suitability" and did not want to be married a woman who would produce "half cast" children for him. It took her two years working for a British company in Sodomy Arabia to get back to the states. One wonders how many horror stories there are behind the ornate facade of the "Religion of Peace."

Desertdawg, that guy needs the frying pan
R E A L bad.
