Woman could face jail on defamation charges: lawyer
A Saudi woman could be jailed for up to one year for publishing a film showing her husband flirting with his housemaid in the kitchen, a newspaper reported on Tuesday.
The unnamed wife had caught her husband flirting with the maid in the kitchen at their house in the Gulf Kingdom and secretly filmed him with her mobile phone.
She then published the film on social media and wrote a caption saying: “the minimum punishment for this husband is to scandalise him.”
‘Sada’ newspaper said the film went viral on social media networks in Saudi Arabia and said most viewers supported the wife.
It also quoted well known Saudi lawyer Majid Qaroob as saying the woman could be jailed for upto one year on defamation charges.
“She faces up to one year in prison or a fine of SR500,000 (Dh500,00) for defaming her husband in line with the law on information technology crimes.
“This law includes stiff punishment for anyone using mobilephones with camera or other equipment to photograph others and defame them,” he said.
By “flirting with the maid” do they mean what we would call “raping the maid”?
And by “defame” do they really mean “exposed”?
There’s nothing more sophisticated than diddling the maid and then chewing some gum.
Violent flirting?
Coulda’ been worse.
She could’ve published the one with her husband and the camel.
How can it be defamation if it is true?
Don’t be too critical of the primitive Saudis. Our own politicians have made it illegal in many states and under federal law to record anyone without their permission. Perhaps the wife would have a right in her own home here, but don’t be so sure.
These laws started out to protect corrupt politicians. Can’t easily record then shaking you down for bribes.The recordings get thrown out of court and YOU go to jail.
Just saw the video. The husband, who must weigh over 300 lbs. under his dishdasha and ghutra, waddled up behind the maid and started to cop a feel. She moved away and he followed. Juvenile and laughable, really. I guess exposing your husband as a fat old fool is illegal under Sharia.
Later
I don’t mind paying more for gasoline if Russia would take out the saudi trash along with the rest of the islamo filth.
National Organization for Women contacted for comment?
CRICKETS.............
The bastard will probably marry the maid while the wife rots in prison. Way to go Sharia law. I would just love to see Bill pull that crap with Hillary’s honey, Huma. Hillary wouldn’t tape it. One might think she would head toward Ft. Marcy Park with someone in the trunk? LOL
And by "maid," do they mean "goat?"
LOL!
Livin’, Lovin’ she’s just a woman.
I initially thought the line in NxNW was the innocent “older” understanding of the term. But after re-watching, it seems pretty clear that Cary Grant’s character is meaning the modern understanding ...
