Insult to Injury justice system...Yemen laws

Tweet

Case in brief. A married woman, enters into a business contract with a Yemeni national along with her husband. Then her husband cannot join her and she is left alone to manage the partnership. Civil war in the country increases monetary problems leading to the Yemeni national renegading on the deal. So far no issues but ...he holds the passport of the lady, for the purposes of the business and refuses to return, seeking more money and other favors, (sexual favors alleged). The lady has husband and kids back home, and so decides to sedate the guy and pick her passport, and return. Unfortunately, the guy dies. What ensues is series of court cases condemning her to death. But there is an exit route...Blink.... "Blood Money"...one wonders if the terrorists use that route, but I am straying from the case. So it says, you compensate the family monetarily and leave. Here...I have a feeling justice is not served. How I would have judged. 1. He renegaded on contract without promise of repayment in future, so it is equal to cheating....the lady deserves compensation for this.............her investment plus compensation for mental agony of being kept isolated from her family. 2. He did not return her passport, which was almost equal to kidnapping, and this lead to mental agony, and related irrational action, so MURDER CONDONED. Net net, the family needs to pay to the lady, not the other way round. THIS IS THE REASON I SAY WE SHOULD HAVE UNIFORM SET OF LAWS ACROSS THE WORLD. THAT WAY .."IGNORANCE OF LAW IS NO EXCUSE" WOULD NOT BE VALID UNLESS THEY ARE HIGHLIGHTED UPFRONT. KINDA BASE SET OF LAWS COMMON ACROSS THE BOARD, AND VARIATIONS INDICATED TO THE PROSPECTIVE VISITOR IN A BOOKLET...DULY INDICATING DIFFERENCES FROM THE LAWS OF THE COUNTRY THEY ARE BORN IN AND THE LAWS OF THE COUNTRY THEY ARE TRAVELING TO. This will ensure that they choose to be careful with what they are doing. In the present scenario, I think the lady over sedated the guy ....because A. She needed time to search the passport. B. She needed time to book a flight. The guy in question may have been too powerful for her to fear him so much. Whatever...........traveling to another country whether for job or other purposes comes with its own consequences ...some of which can be as serious as this. This is not the first time that I have heard of people handing over their passports. The former househelp of my neighbor too was trapped for almost 3 years, with a lady in the middle east, who was so abusive that she burned her face. Even though she was a Muslim widow. What not a mother suffers for her child back home. When we have microchips for dogs, why don't we have microchips of passports too? Just feeling sorry for the nurse.
