Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than me can provide us with input on that. Is annulment allowed? and under what conditions? AbuSinan,

There is nothing in Islam that would allow for a family member to annul a marriage against the wishes of the two people involved, especially over an issue of class/tribal caste.

HOWEVER I also believe People have a choice whether or not they are going to be perpetual victims The Qatif girl case is one case example...She started out a victim and then chose a different role for herself... By the way, good point regarding this mother's relation to the half-brothers! I believe that while it is possible for someone to fall into the role of playing victim…

I am curious: is the troublesome half-brother this woman's son? Also, why should the husband be forced to attend the circus that seemed to have been enacted in the courts. Was the couple even called to the court? Weren't the proceedings initiated by the brother without the knowledge of the couple? I don't Mansour as weak. I see him the victim of a bunch of scheming, unethical in-laws.

However, if her daughter, Fatima,was so much suffering why wouldn’t she run in the arms of the relatives who are supposedly rescuing her from a life of poverty and begging? Last time I checked being poor isn’t a crime. The mother is stupid, “WHY is she worried about how he treated his OTHER wives?” We are talking about her daughter. WHY, WHAT? NO… I think the mother is terrified like Fatima and has been coerced with her statements in defending her family’s sinful, shameful and prejudiced behavior. Two thumbs down mommy...you just made it worse and if other Saudis read it they are going to see right through it to the blatantly blazing truth, "YOU and your family are the oppressors!"
