A Saudi court ordered a well-known local scholar to pay diya (blood money) after he was convicted of torturing his
five-year old daughter to death. His wife quickly reacted by saying she
would appeal to demand her husband’s death. 

Newspapers in the Gulf Kingdom said the unnamed
scholar is still in jail until he pays diya to his wife over the death
of his daughter. 

The woman said she had not appointed a lawyer
during the trial to demand execution of her husband on the grounds she
is “ignorant in the law.” 

“The body of my daughter has been in the morgue
for nearly four months.. I have just received a court permit to bury
her,” she said. 

In a report in late 2012, the Saudi Arabic
language daily Alyoum said the scholar often appears on a local
satellite TV channel to deliver religious lectures. 

The paper said his daughter Lama died in
hospital after spending several weeks suffering from broken arms, skull
fracture and head bruises. 

It quoted the girl’s mother as saying her
daughter had been systematically tortured by her father and his new wife
before she was admitted to hospital in a serious case.
