A woman in Bahrain was left without adequate housing after police failed to prosecute her husband for beating and threatening her. Married at the age of 19, she remained silent about the abuse for several years because she knew she was expected to put up with the violence. When she did finally ask for a divorce, her husband assaulted her so severely she was hospitalized for 10 days. Despite her extensive injuries, the police took no action against her husband.
Maybe this is my corrupt western upbringing, but I believe this is not right.
Well its not just aghanistan the GCC aren't angels either.
