In Saudi Arabia, a local citizen married a foreign woman on a maid’s visa.
The Human Rights Commission said in a statement that the woman’s family was unaware of Saudi laws, brought a local citizen domestic worker to the kingdom and married her and filed a rape report against her when she had an argument. No, but his child was also taken away from him.
The Human Rights Commission said that this case is completely against human rights and human values, the local citizen tortured the foreign woman, the husband continued to torture her from time to time, took advantage of her weakness after the birth of the child.
The foreign woman endured the violence for fear of losing her child, not caring that she was living as a maid while being a wife.
The Human Rights Commission said that the foreign woman avoided raising her problem and the husband eventually left her and filed a report of abuse against the woman, which made the problem of the foreign woman very complicated.
The foreign woman was forced to turn to the Human Rights Commission, the commission provided security to the woman in cooperation with the security forces and related institutions and legalized her stay in the country.
Secretary Commission Bandar Alhari said that the teams of the commission are engaged in solving such problems, the need is that the scope of the complaint channel is wide. Provision should be made to provide timely response to complaints in a better and appropriate manner. This will happen only then human rights violations can be properly addressed.
