Ending 28 years of marital life, the Bahrain Sharia Court yesterday granted divorce to a woman from her husband after the latter was proven guilty of domestic violence.
The couple has nine children. According to her lawyers Zahida Al-Sayyid and Huda Salman, the husband was regularly beating her up, insulting her apart from engaging in other acts of domestic abuse.
The woman requested the court to grant a divorce to end “the suffering she has been enduring for the past 28 years”.
“She was abused and deserted by her husband. He would physically torture her apart from defaming her honour,” the lawyers said.
Many criminal complaints were filed at the local police station by the woman, which served as evidence of torture before the court.
For his part, the husband confessed before the court to physically harassing the woman.
He said she was in the habit of emotionally provoking him, leading to the issues. Dismissing her claims of desertion, the man said he was taking care of the entire expenses of the family including that of his wife and children.
