Family locks woman in toilet for four months
KUWAIT: A woman in her twenties told police that her family tortured her and locked her in the toilet for four months after refusing to let her marry a man of her choice. The woman finally jumped from the third floor, fracturing her ileum and leg. The woman’s lawyer said “this is a torture and restriction of freedom case that is not accepted by logic, law or humanity, and is rejected by Islamic sharia too”. The lawyer said “the family of my client used to give her one meal a day inside the bathroom and she finally threw herself out from the third floor when she got a chance to escape from her ‘jail’”.
