Why would we pay? She made the choice to marry a Saudi, she gave up her rights as a person.

[Brenda]

Do I understand correctly, that because mom doesn't have the money to pay her son in law, the Canadian tax payer should??

$1:

"I'm completely scandalized that the government would pass on this demand to me," said Durocher, who compared Al Bishi's request for cash to a ransom demand.

"You don't buy your children," she added.

Durocher said she has no intention of negotiating a payment for her daughter's return, and has no money to do so anyway.

Slavery from Saudi Arabia?
Looks like a UN problem to me.

[Brenda]

She married the guy voluntarily. She had kids with him voluntarily. She went to S-A voluntarily. What is slavery about that?

[ridenrain]

Mariage isn't slavery.
Is she being held against her will?

Women don't get their own will in Saudi Arabia. So really she is not being held against her will. Lest according to Saudi Law (which is Sharia Law)

[Brenda]

Isn't any woman with children abroad held against her will when she wants to leave?
Take the kids without his permission, and you are going to jail for kidnapping.

Anyhow, no, she is not. She can buy a plane ticket and leave.

I agree how ever that she is between a rock and a hard place.

She can buy a plane ticket and leave.

Not she can't, not without the husband giving it the okay

She has a Canadian passport. She has to leave the kids, but she should be able to go.

What part of this story didn't you read?

$1:

So says the common-law husband of the 25-year-old Longueuil mother of three, who swore in an affidavit that she has been held against her will in Saudi Arabia since 2005.
...
Al Bishi told consular staff that he would allow Morin to leave Saudi Arabia with their three children, age 7, 3 and 11 months, if her homeland comes up with the cash.

It's kidnapping. Simple as that.

What part exactly did you not read?

$1:

But Durocher said that Morin, who visited Montreal for one month in 2006 without her children, went back to Saudi Arabia because she couldn't bear being away from them.

[ridenrain]

..Ok. I didn't get there..
It's still wrong.

[Brenda]

I agree it is, but it is not about her. It is about her taking the kids.

I can't go back to Holland with my kids either without permission. Not even for a trip...

Serves Canadians right for marrying foreigners.
