I understand that quite a few messages were sent to HH Sheikh Mo website from women asking for his intervention. For any laws to be bent he would be the one to bend them.
I hope this works out favorably for Marnie and then she can sit down and write that book. I'm sure it would be interesting.
So basically what your saying is that she was absolutely innocent?, are you sure?
I don't see where i said that or implied it. And it's not to say that her husband was innocent. If at the very least she can get shared custody and remain in the UAE to be near her children. That IMHO would be a good thing. Whatever the behavior of the parents she is entitled to be with her children on some level.
That is of course in your Western line of thinking (not a criticism), unfortunately she is in a Country that looks at things slightly differently.
Well I would have to rephrase that: looks at things VERY differently.
Not so differently on this one. I remember a few years back some men claimed the walls of some building in UK to protest against not having any rights to their children when divorcing. They argued the courts where heavily in favor of the mothers.
As Danny DeVito said in the War of the roses:
Civilized divorce? These two words are contradictory.
