Embassy in Bahrain rescues Hyderabad woman

HYDERABAD: A 23-year-old from Hyderabad Syeda Gowhar Fatima Jaffery, who had allegedly been tortured by her husband, was rescued by Indian Embassy in Bahrain. “She has been rescued from her husband and all necessary actions are being taken to send her back to India,” the embassy informed MBT leader Amjed Ullah Khan who had brought the issue to its notice.
An appeal made by the woman’s family in Hyderabad to the external affairs minister was sent to the embassy which then took immediate action.
The woman’s mother, Syeda Mehar Fatima, a resident of Charminar area said that she had performed her daughter’s marriage with Bahraini national Isa Abdul Shaeed Isa Helal Abdula Alhoori on April 30, 2019 at her house in the city. After marriage, Alhoori left for Bahrain promising to return but arranged a visa for his wife to travel to Bahrain on a visitor visa.
“My daughter joined his family and came to know that Alhoori was living with his father. He then started torturing her by treating her like a servant and locked her up in a room. She was given food only twice a day,” the mother said. She also said her son-in-law did not permit Gowhar to meet or speak to her family.
