DAILY MAIL: A Saudi woman is appealing to Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah to reunite her with the husband she loves after her relatives went behind her back to seek a divorce on the grounds she had married beneath her.
Two years ago, a knock on Fatima and Mansour al-Timani's door shattered the life they had built together. It was the police, delivering news that a judge had annulled their marriage in absentia, thanks to her relatives' efforts.
Under Saudi Arabia's strict segregation rules that means the couple can no longer live together. They sued to reverse the ruling, publicised their story and sought help from a Saudi human rights group.
But, after a spell in jail - for living together illegally - the two remain apart and Fatima is considering suicide, she said, if her recent appeal to King Abdullah doesn't reunite her with the man she still considers her husband.
"I want to return to my husband, but if that is not possible, I need to know so I can put an end to my life," she said. Saudi woman considering suicide after family go behind her back to divorce her from man she loves >>>
