All that I have seen here is based on emotion, not logic or law. I really hate to keep being the antagonist here, but really.....
"We do not know the people we marry. Longtime loves turn into strangers. And she married a Swede Alex, not a 'raghead'"....
So, he is NOT Saudi? Is he a Saudi citizen? This is strange.
Why would you get married to someone that you do not know?... Passion?
Is this an excuse for subverting law?
"Because in Saudi a woman has no custody rights and the US is backing them up and not interfering with 'their' laws!"
Should we interfere with Saudi Law? Should Saudis be allowed to interfere with US law?
I have yet to get a reply to my basic questions..
Was this woman forced to marry this "Swede" or whatever he is.
Are the children a result of rape?
Is she not allowed to leave Saudi Arabia?
What if a Saudi woman comes to the US and gets married to a US male. ...They split and she wants to run back to Saudi Arabia with two kids that they had in the USA.
What would US law say about that?
I am still looking for some rational replies that
are with fact, and not emotion.
BTW, I am all for the girl returning to the US with the kids, but I do not see this as an international incident.
I regard Freepers as too intelligent to let emotion get in the way of logic.
See this post is confusing yes, Sara did marry a Saudi but our Freeper married a Swede.
I'm not saying disrupt a 'good' law in Saudi, but this law is assinine! And considering they promised to stop doing this and are once again lying to us and have stretched our relations to beyond the limits, I say screw them!
If they were law-abiding, trustworthy and cared about human rights, only then could I respect their laws. But they are barbaric!!!
She is allowed to leave Saudi but without her children. Are you saying thats the punishment she deserves for marrying a Saudi?
Look the US doesn't give a hoot about anyone marrying from another country or if they are being mistreated. Congress can fight,we can fight and this is an old story! This happened to many of our GI's in VietNam who fathered children. Did the government care, no!
Yes, many of us Freepers are emotional and at times are clouded with illogical rationalizations, but that is a HUGE difference from the passion we carry as Freepers about injustices. This is an INjustice and travesty! This has to do with our government's failure not a choice of a husband.
