A Washington mother, who moved to Saudi Arabia to teach at a university, lost custody of her daughter after divorcing her husband because she was too Western to raise the child, according to a Saudi court.

Bethany Vierra, 32, lost custody of her daughter four-year-old Zaina in July after the court determined that the mother was too 'new to Islam.'


'The mother is new to Islam, is a foreigner in this country, and continues to definitively embrace the customs and traditions of her upbringing.

We must avoid exposing (Zaina) to these customs and traditions, especially at this early age,' Judge Abdul-Ellah ibn Mohammed al-Tuwaijri said in his July ruling, according to CNN.


The 32-year-old student had moved to the Middle Eastern country in 2011 to teach at a local university.

Vierra's ex husband used her social media as evidence that she was allegedly living a non-Islamic lifestyle.

When you tell our Christian women don't date outside your religion they wouldn't listen. This is one of the result.

You hardly find a Muslim lady getting married to christain man.

it's because she is female thats why. They don't regard women as much as men.

Honesty i pity the lady, considering the pains mothers go through to bring their baby's into the world.But it's another lesson to those who leap before they look.If you want to marry,marry from where you share the same things and from those areas where they do not attach their lives to extreme religious ethics.God created us to be free,but it's a pity we jail ourselves to man made rules and laws.

the ex husband is still sad over the divorce so he dont want the happyness of the lady.

I don’t think so. Will u allow ur wife take ur daughter to such a place and festival? Looking at the pictures even a Nigerian dad will take offense cos u don’t know what ur kid will pick up by such exposure and experience. At this age they are receptive to many conditioning of the mind and value based on what they see arround.

Islamic nations tend to make life appear difficult to live. Leaders marry many wives, hide in their houses to carry out the same offences used in judging the poor. No peace of mind for you in their countries.
They move to western countries, copy western technology and tell their people that westerners are not God fearing.
They give all they can to go to USA and Europe where there's freedom and peace, yet the cause wars and battles in their own lands in the name of religion.
Where people go run go sef?

the babe fall hand, she should just leave, go back home, get married and have more kids. with time she will forget all these, the guy knows she loves the child and is using that against her. if she act like she don't care and leave, his grip on her has been broken, things will amend itself with time, you can't deny the child from seeing the mother forever.
Do u think its possible for her to forget that child, that's impossible jor, even if she end up having 10 children i doubt she can forget this one.

when I say forget, I didn't mean to erase but to allow fate decide. that child is her Achilles heel, they will continue to use the child against her. maybe cause I'm not a woman but the only solution I can see her is letting go so the guy will loose his hold on her hence she will remain in emotional torture and bondage. the guy might not care about that child but is doing this just to punish her, not until you give your enemy the opposite reaction of what they are expecting, you can't win. it has always worked for me, it's just mind games

there is a thread trending now that asked if religion should be used in choosing a spouse instead of love, most of them are saying love love love, lol, marrying someone who don't share same ideas and belief as you will surely end in disaster.

Theirs is hypocrisy in the highest level, do what I say, don't do what I do.
wittyt98:
trump won't do shii about it.
he wouldn't wanna fúck up the US/Saudi relationship with a case like this.

this is why I never support Muslims whenever they seek minority rights. in a society where Islam is the ruling party there are no minority rights. it's either u follow their way of life or get punished for disobeying but when Muslims find themselves outside their Islamic society, they re obsessed with minority Rights. they wanna wear their burkas without being harassed, they wanna wear their hijabs without being intimidated and when their minority rights are being questioned and challenged, they scream islamaphobia. they say you hate them. they tell u they have the right to practice their lifestyle. but in their own societies minorities don't have right to practice their lifestyle. lol

Who did this to Nigerians?.

Who cursed Nigerians?.

These are the same Nigerians that condemned their govt for being clueless?.

Who took away your reasoning faculty away?. I can now understand why you deserve govt you have been having since Independence. Your govt is reflection of you.

What's Islam gotta do with this? . The article made no mention of Islam except where parents side made such reference. In a situation like this a country does things in their favor all the time. It is normal.

For instance, a foreigner in US who commits a crime, is he or she release and deported to his or her country?. Absolutely not. US would tell you the crime was committed on their soil. But if US citizen commits crime in other countries, especially 3rd world he would be sent to US without facing jail.

Have you all forgotten few yrs ago, a similar case like this about Italian husband and American wife who got divorced?. The case was treated in Italian court and judge ruled custody of their child in favor of Italian husband. Judge looked for every reason to ensured Italian husband get custody.

If this white lady is Nigerian muslim, I can guarantee you the ruling would be the same. Judge would look for excuse to make sure Saudi man get custody.

Africans, especially Nigerians are becoming stupid everyday and becoming religious bigots, too. I heard you guys rely on media to tell you how to reason bcuz you can not use your brain again. That's why you are in this deep shit. This judge actually wanted this lady to have some sort of Saudi or Arab culture/custom.

Bro you have said it all. This is why I love Hungary. They really don’t care what you call them. They simply say WE WILL NOT ALLOW ANY SINGLE MUSLIM IMMIGRATE INTO OUR COUNTRY. The west are now calling them Autocrats and all that nonsense. POLAND doing the same thing. Sweden was the safest country for women to live in. After they allowed this Religious bigots, bro Sweden is now the country with the highest rape on women. The only problem I have with this people is the hypocrisy! It’s sad we live in a world where we can be able to criticize Christianity and be called a realist but called bigot and whatever phobia when we criticize Islam smh

U don’t have to be insultive. Now if she didn’t take the child where was the child then? There are certain upbringing and exposure u want for u kids even when co-parenting, do they are safe and sound. Why must the lady join such Ridiculous festivals, which such generally questionable acts or expressions and yet married an Arab even tho a Jew or xtain will also have same reservation.

Also the lady married an Arab man so there is no issue of the dads culture being wrong or an issue here exactly yet. Parents shud act responsible for their kids based on both parents beliefs. No woman wud want her baby living in certain environment like with a crime scene or gangster father. It’s same thing here.

Can you be honest to tell us if the tatoo woman below, who rescued a boy abandoned by church-goers and mosque-goers, is showing a good example with her body?

silverbirdng:
Sometimes in February 2016, this young boy was condemned to die after a pastor accused him of witchcraft and his images went vural. Abandoned by his parents and community. He was rescued by Anja Ringgren Loven, a Danish woman living in Nigeria at the time who bent down and began feeding the boy and giving him water. She runs a children's centre where the children she saves receive medical care, food and schooling.

Ms Loven is the founder of African Children's Aid Education and Development Foundation, which she created to help children which have been labelled as witches and therefore neglected and even killed by members of their community.

Three years, 5 months later, this is him. Back to school, eating well and his new name is HOPE

It is her daughter she has every right to train her as she wishes.
It is left for the daughter to decide her own path when she is an adult.
What is even wrong with the pictures do not judge a book by it's cover
@topic, What is she even doing in that country. She nor see school teach for US.
She suppose know say that is one of the worst countries for women to be in.
This your statement is just the problem we are having in this world.
She has the right to behave how she does, then when things go wrong it becomes the problem not only to her but to the society at large.
Freedom at times is a fly in the scrotum.
