Wife forcefully divorced by Shoura council - and now the only way out is to have the King talk to the highly Learned Ulema - e - Karaaam](http://www.arabnews.com/?page=1§ion=0&article=104471&d=10&m=12&y=2007&pix=kingdom.jpg&category=Kingdom)
Found this article on the arab news website.
Yet another pathetic display of the so called “PURE” islam…
I am not even concerned about this incident being taken up by the International media and using it as yet another baton to bash Islam, at present that is a matter of secondary importance.
My real worry is about the rest of the islamic world who follow the PURE islam practiced in Saudi Arabia, God help us !!!
Some quotes from the article, for those who dont want to read the whole thing
“…a Saudi judge nullified Fatima’s marriage to Mansour Al-Timani, 37, on July 20, 2005. The court decision was issued after Fatima’s half brothers filed a divorce case saying that Mansour had lied about his tribal background”
“*…The only legal way to end this family’s misery is for the king to intervene by asking the Supreme Judicial Council, the highest judicial authority in the Kingdom, to look at the case again..”
" … *In the same way that Fatima is suffering, Mansour is also. In July he was made to sign two gag orders by Dammam police preventing him from speaking to the press. When being made to sign the second gag order, Mansour was also detained with Noha (his daughter) "
and most importantly;
“… provide sayings from the Prophet (peace be upon him) as well as Islamic scholars negating the Al-Jouf judge’s decision to nullify Mansour and Fatima’s marriage…”
My question is, if the king finds that the shoura council screwed up the whole thing, will he announce some punishment for the Mohtarim Ulema e Karaam ?
