Arab Times. Kuwait City, Dec 30:
The Appeals Court upheld the verdict of a lower court which sentenced a Kuwaiti woman to 10 years in jail for killing her housemaid with kitchenware.
Case papers indicate that the woman’s husband stated that she always had quarrels with the maid and that they decided to return the maid back to the domestic personnel office. The husband said he received a call on the day of the incident from his wife who said the maid was not willing to do any work and that a heated argument ensued between her and the maid. He rushed home to see the maid trying to mutter her last words. She breathed her last soon after.
LWDLIK- There is justice! Good signal to any other maid beaters out there.. May the poor deceased RIP.
It is very common for arab people to maltreat their house helpers. Well infact they can not work without them... Why can't they just let them go if they are not happy with their service. A lot of these housemaids commits suicide or have broken bones because they want to run away from these inhuman creatures.
ReplyDeleteThese housemaids have families and because of poverty they have to abandone their loveones hoping for a better future but at the end they fall into bad hands.
May God forgive them and give justice to all victims of brutality.
Sadly cruelty is everywhere in the world today. I'm happy to see justice done here. You are so right exploiting the poor is way too common. Let's hope for big changes and humanity. There is no religion that condones such ill treatment of others.
ReplyDeleteLWDLIK,its great of you to bring these things to the limelight.
ReplyDeleteMay the deceased RIP indeed. Its sad that she's lost her whole life & the perpetrator of this crime against her, will only lose 10 years (fingers crossed no time off for good behaviour if the beast is capable of it). Nonetheless, its a small step in the right direction.
I think it would have been a whole lot easier for the employer to let the maid have a day off. They were going to fire her anyway.
ReplyDeleteI truly hope that they are finally implementing "equal justice"..... (either that, or the woman just didn't have wastah).
