Shariah Law in Bahrain: UK Woman Railroaded into Gaol for Adultery.

"...& call in to witness from among your men two witnesses; but if there are not two men, then one man & two women from among those whom you choose to be witnesses, so that if one of the two errs, the second of the two may remind the other; & the witnesses should not refuse when they are summoned." So the pagan moon god Allah tells us in verse 2:282 of his laughable tome of trash, the Koran.

This shows that the testimony of one man is worth that of two women. Thus, in any marital dispute, where it is a man's word against a woman's, the woman stands no chance in a shari'ah court. One heinous example of just how a man can say anything he wants in a shari'ah court against his former wife, & be believed, is the case of Hannah James.

She ran out on her Muslim monster of a husband in Bahrain when he beat her up (&, surprise surprise, the beatings only started after they arrived in Bahrain.) Because of the primitive nature of shari'ah law, the abusive wretch was able to scurry to the cops & accuse her of adultery, without her being able to mount any credible defence. Now she is stranded in that Islamic hellhole, after enduring a month in prison, because the animal burned her passport, as reported by MailOnline today (hat-tip to Ivan Humble @NewDayStarts):

'I dropped the charges because I love her': British mother 'beaten by her husband' and jailed for adultery in Bahrain for a month is freed after he clears HER... But she's stuck there because he 'burned her passport' Hannah James thrown in to a jail cell in Bahrain after being accused of infidelity Family claims the accusations surfaced when she tried to flee from her husband She 'suffered' in jail for one month before husband Jassim Alhadder cleared her Her family claims she is stuck in Bahrain because Alhadder burned her passport He denies claims and says he struck her in self defence after she became violent A British mother accused of cheating on her husband under Bahrain's strict Sharia law was only freed from prison when her 'abusive' Muslim husband dropped the charges against her. Hannah James, 26, is said to have survived on three meals of rice and water a day after her partner Jassim Alhadder told the police she was having an affair with a married man who works for the government. James Alhadder After languishing in jail since early December she was finally let go when Alhadder, 29, personally told the authorities to clear her of the alleged adultery. He told MailOnline: 'I dropped the charges because she is the mother of my child and I still love her. 'I am her husband so I had to clear her, because of the laws in the country. She's now been released and she's in safe hands.' Ms James, from Fraserburgh in Aberdeenshire, is now stuck in the conservative Muslim country because Alhadder burned her passport, her family has claimed on a crowdfunding page raising money for her legal fees. Alhadder denies doing so but his stories are inconsistent. He told MailOnline she lost the document but in another interview, he said she destroyed it herself after 'hiding it in the oven' and forgetting about it. Ms James married Alhadder shortly after moving to Bahrain in March with their British-born son Nelson, four, who is now back in the UK with his grandparents. Her family claim he turned violent soon after the move - and shared Facebook photos of a black eye and bruise on her arm as proof of the abuse she suffered.

They say Alhadder only accused her of cheating after she stated her intentions to return to the UK because he beat her. Alhadder has hit back at the family by saying he acted in self-defence, claiming Ms James attacked him after he confronted her about the alleged affair, and that bruises show more clearly on her skin because she is white. He said: 'She's been going out twice a week drinking and every time she tries to beat me up because she doesn't like me anymore, because she has another man in her life. 'Every time she tries to beat me up and I push her away. And every time she falls down in the house because she's drunk and of course she will get bruises. I didn't mean to hurt her once.' 'She's the one who has put herself in jail, I didn't put her in there. She put herself there when she went with him. 'She's taken my heart with her - she's taken my son, I will never see him again.' Heartbroken Alhadder says he wants revenge on the Saudi-Bahranian man who he claims had an affair with his wife. He said: 'He's run away because he's afraid he's going to lose his wife. But I've lost everything, I lost my family because of this guy. 'I'm not done with him. This guy who made me lose my family, I have to make him lose his family too.' Last night, Ms James' mother Shelley confirmed her daughter had been released from jail and was in 'safe hands' but that she was still not allowed to leave Bahrain. Shelley had earlier written in an online petition that Bahrain 'is a law unto themselves' and that her daughter was 'suffering being in prison'. Writing on a JustGiving page set up to raise funds to bring her daughter home, Mrs James said: 'Things became very difficult for her as she was suffering from domestic violence.' The British Foreign Office said in a statement: 'We are providing support to a British woman following her arrest in Bahrain. We remain in contact with both her family and with Bahraini authorities.'

BAHRAIN'S SHARIA LAW

While rules in Bahrain are considered some of the more liberal in the region, they are still based primarily on Sharia law. According to a report by Unicef, the minimum age of marriage for a woman in Bahrain is 15 - and this limit was only written into law in 2007. A Bahraini man may divorce his wife for any reason while domestic violence is 'not specifically addressed in the penal code' and spousal rape 'is not considered a crime', the report says. A rapist can avoid punishment by marrying his victim, it added. So-called 'honour killings' are punishable, though sentences are lenient for the killing of a spouse - a wife or husband - who is caught in the act of adultery, the report says.
