RIYADH, 4 August 2003 — A court in Jeddah sentenced a businessman to three years in prison for the torture inflicted by his wife on their Indonesian maid, a newspaper reported yesterday.

According to Al-Madinah newspaper, Judge Muhammed Amin Mordad said the wife tortured the Indonesian maid “by inserting a heated screwdriver into her genitals.” The paper said that the maid fled this “continuos ill-treatment” and “became hysterical”.

The maid sought refuge in the Indonesian Consulate in Jeddah.

The businessman husband, who did not know about his wife’s torture of the maid, took responsibility for her actions, and was also sentenced to a unspecified number of lashings and ordered to pay $10,000 in damages.

Continous? The first time should have been a clincher.

The court probably didn't have a hard time guessing where the wife learned this form of torture.

Crikees! What the heck did the maid do to p*ss her off? Maybe she was sleeping with the husband, and that's why he took the punishment?

The Prophet saith:
If thy wife
With hot screwdriver
Or cold knife
Attack the virtue of the Maid,
And send her screaming
Sore afraid
Unto a foreign embassy...
Trust me, bub :
She's not for thee !

I doubt it. There was a similar story recently about a Saudi woman who threw boiling water on her Filipino maid because she didn't understand Arabic. These scum think foreigners are animals, and treat them accordingly
