Sharia judge in Nabatieh hands over two daughters to their predator
26-7-2018
Khadija Bitar was threatened with imprisonment for refusing to implement a ruling by sharia jaafari judge, Aladdine Sharara, requiring that she lets her two young daughters see their father accused of child molestation for 24 hours each week, Al Akhbar reported today. To recall, the Criminal Court Grand Jury has not ruled yet in the case filed by Bitar against the father of her daughters charged with child sexual abuse. Al Akhbar pointed out that the Juvenile Court of Nabatiyeh has decided on 18/1/2018 to leave the children under the custody of their mother and commission a juvenile justice social worker to follow up the case and report to the court. The newspaper spoke to Khadija’s defense attorney who said that the judge of urgent matters in Nabatiyeh has issued a ruling prohibiting the father from seeing his daughters by virtue of the 2014 law on the protection of women and family members from domestic violence. He said the jaafari judge’s verdict was contrary to the sanctions of the Juvenile Court. The shocking verdict, Al Akhbar wrote, incited angry reactions by activists on social media, including the National Campaign to Increase the Age of Custody for the Shiite Sect which warned that it will make her case a case for public opinion, disclsoing that it started contacts with concerned parties to overturn the court ruling.
