The Lower Criminal Court ordered a Bahraini man to compensate his former wife BD4,000 for beating her. The man is said to have inhumanely assaulted his ex-wife before the divorce, causing her severe injuries including fractures in the pelvis, bruises on the face and damage to the retina of the eye, which kept her in the hospital for days for treatment.

“My client lodged a complaint at the police station after the incident which kept her at the hospital for a couple of days to receive treatment.

The assault left my client with hearing loss in the left ear and loss of smell too. It also caused other serious injuries to her such as fractures in her back and rib cage as well as skull,” the woman’s lawyer Ibtisam Al Sabagh said. “My client was saved by her brother and father who rushed to the scene and found her motionless in a pool of blood.”

Al Sabagh also revealed that the woman suffered deep depression following the incident.
