Sons break arm of mother's proposer
2013-10-17
The locale is Abu Dhabi. The story you are about to read may be true.
A woman who devoted her entire life to raising her three sons after her husband passed away, was surprised by her sons selfish reaction when they brutally beat the man who asked for their mother's hand in marriage. The hard-working single mother dedicated her life to her children, and now they were grown men, she saw the proposal -- from a relative of her late husband -- as her chance at being looked after.
They figured she wasn't done with taking care of them.
And she thought her sons would feel the same, but instead they rejected the idea from the beginning. Angry the man had been in communication with their mother without their knowledge, the three men started to plan their revenge on the man they once called their uncle.
"We must have Dire Revenge®!"
Despite telling him he was not allowed to marry their mother, they believed he was still contacting her and enticing her to abandon her sons and marry him, which enraged them even more.
I'll betcha they're Moslems. Want to bet?
One day, the trio planned to speak with the man to warn him off their mother and one evening, they lay in wait for him in the street before confronting him.
"Yeah, Mahmoud! We'll 'talk' to him!"
"I'll get my bludgeon!"

They told him plainly that they did not, and would not accept the proposal and warned him to stay clear of her, ordering him never to get in touch with their mother again. The conversation quickly turned into a verbal attack and ended up with the three sons brutally beating the man, leaving him with an arm fracture and wounds all over his body.
"You been 'talked to,' Uncle. Remember what we said!"
Upon closer inspection by doctors at hospital, the man was found to have several bruises on the forehead, back of his ear, and eye, and his left arm had in fact been broken.

The three attackers were referred by the Public Prosecution to the Misdemeanours Court which sentenced each of them to six months in jail followed by deportation after serving the jail term. Yet, the imprisonment term was commuted to one month in jail and the deportation order was repealed.
So they weren't poor Arabs.
Feeling he had lost the woman he wished to be his wife,
"Fatima! I miss you so!"
the man moved to the Civil Court to demand Dh5 million in damages for the physical and psychological injuries he suffered as a result of the attack.
"If I can't have Fatima, money would be nice!"
He produced the medical reports which showed the injuries he had sustained, which he claimed he was still affected by.

The three defendants were said to have left the country for their homeland and they failed to appear for some sittings, although the court served a summons to them.
"We asked around and everything! Couldn't find 'em!"
The Civil Court thus believed the victim deserved a redress for the psychological and bodily harm he sustained and, accordingly, ordered the defendants to pay the victim Dh45,000 in compensation.
But they're out of the country, so he doesn't get the dough and he doesn't get Fatima.
