He is a filthy t**d of depravity.
If the mother cannot divorce him, the payment is meaningless, as he will be able to take the blood money back off her. Does the "court" which tried him not wonder whose child he will rape next ?
And we seriously talk about the place of Sharia Law in this country ! Let's hope this travesty of a "trial" puts paid once and for all to any further talk of Sharia in the UK.

It seems that the Saudi Royal Family have been stirred by the criticism and publicity over the sentencing of the father in this dreadful crime.
They appear to have over-ruled the original judgement via the Ministry of Justice, his case is being renewed, and they have promised he will be in prison "for a very long time".
A belated recognition of the severity of the crime and the nonsense of the law and the sentencing - but will they ever change and modernise their laws that effectively permit a husband to kill a wife or a father to kill a daughter with impunity?
