Claims heartbreaking.MY heart breaks to hear the case of Adam being"abducted" by their relatives. It is a unique case of "kidnap" where Rebecca Jones, the mother, had escorted her son willingly to the father's place. Reading biased coverage also raises a question as to why a legal custody of Qatari family is yet referred to as kidnap even without inverted commas inverted commas Noun, pl same as quotation marks inverted commas npl (BRIT) → comillas fpl inverted commas npl (Brit . Questioning the credibility of the judicial system of Qatar is too naive to be discussed in public. I feel that it just a family matter and is to be settled in court not create an unnecessary furore. The existence of the expat population in the Arab land is itself a pointer pointer, breed of large sporting dog developed in England more than 300 years ago. It stands between 23 and 26 in. (58.4–66.4 cm) high at the shoulder and weighs between 50 and 60 lb (22.7–27.2 kg). to the fact that the rules of the land have been trusted over the years, so, lets leave that to the government to decide. Whatever we have been reading, was actually a one-sided story with no comments at all from the Qatari counterparts. Being neutral, I feel it would have been much appreciated if the readers were told the same story from the father's point of view. Islam gives to the mother three times more rights, as compared to the father. In other words Adv. 1. in other words - otherwise stated; "in other words, we are broke" put differently Islam gives the mother the gold, silver and the bronze medals and the father has to settle with the mere "consolation" prize. Having said so, no man can also justify the henious acts of Andrea Yates, a Texan mother, who killed all her five children at one go in 2001. Just being a mother would never justify the right to custody. Every matter is case sensitive and has to be taken in the right context. I doubt if all the Adam supporters would even bother to read the news if the child belonged to an Indian or African mother with a British father. Needless to say that Westerners have immense experience in handling such cases as this happens in every second house, but it does not give them the authority to question the law of the land or defame de·fame tr.v. de·famed, de·fam·ing, de·fames 1.

Lastly, let us not forget that there are millions of other children who are homeless, fatherless or motherless in war-torn countries, the lives of whom are definitely much worse than Adam's is. They too deserve a portion of our time and money to rebuild their lives, let alone discuss the real reason of ongiong opression. Let us all join together for common justice and leave the prejudice behind. To get justice is the birthright birth·right n. 1. A right, possession, or privilege that is one's due by birth.
