| Having served a little over half his jail sentence, Muhammad Bakar Yunus Al-Fallatta, who had beaten his wife Rania Al-Baz almost to death, was released from jail on Saturday after she pardoned him. Rania decided to forfeit her private Shariah right for monetary compensation from her husband and requested his release after âsettling the case in a way satisfactory to both sides,â she told Arab News. She declined to give details saying only that she did not want to drag this case out any longer given the massive publicity it has received. Raniaâs lawyer Dr. Omar Al-Khouli said both parties signed an agreement regarding their two children that âprotects the rights of both parties.â Following Al-Fallattaâs attack on her, Rania said she was chiefly concerned about being granted a divorce and permanent full custody of her two boys. |
