The woman appealed to higher authorities to urgently intervene and put an end to her suffering, allowing her and her children lead a normal life.
She alleged that the man, who had divorced her sister, had been interfering in her married life.
“The man always tries to interfere in my affairs and forces me to return to the house of my husband who has been behind bars at a Makkah prison while awaiting a verdict in a criminal case. My husband was accused of torching five vehicles belonged to my relatives,” she said.
According to the woman, her tormentor is an infamous criminal and sexual pervert.
“It is astonishing that the man, a government employee, was able to secure permission from the concerned authorities to travel abroad in dubious circumstances. He managed to get paid on time despite his continuous absence from duty,” she said while expressing hope that the new National Commission to Combat Corruption would examine this case.
The 34-year-old woman also recounts the suffering of her children when the man was their guardian.
“He prevented my children from continuing their schooling and even refused a request to shift to schools in a neighborhood close to my family, with whom I am staying now after leaving my husband’s house.”
She alleged that the man is a pervert. “He was allegedly engaged in immoral activities after frequenting a rest house in north Jeddah. He always invited me to enjoy the company of rich businessmen at the rest house,” she said in the message.
Reacting to the case, Abdullah Al-Tawi, director general of the Social Affairs Department in Makkah province, told Al-Madinah newspaper that the department would look into the case of her children, who are living now with another wife of their father’s, and ensure that they are provided with their legal rights.
“I will personally supervise and follow up the case of her children,” he said.
Meanwhile, prominent lawyer and legal consultant Sultan bin Ali Al-Harithy said that the woman’s case is complex.
He said disputes among couples and family matters should be solved through the Shariah courts.
The children’s education is the responsibility of their father, who should make necessary arrangements by providing authorization letters and other necessary documents.
The custody of the children is to be decided by the court in a manner serving their interests, he said.
