MADINAH, 1 June 2007 — We’ve all heard the phrase “an eye for an eye,” but have you ever heard of “a tooth for a tooth”? A woman in Madinah, who fell victim to dental malpractice that caused her to lose many of her teeth, wanted a court to order that the teeth of the dentist be removed as a form of punishment instead of the SR28,000 settlement the court ordered the dentist to pay. According to local news reports, the judge balked at the request and upheld his decision, ordering the dental clinic closed until the sum is paid.
