A Saudi woman has succeeded in getting divorced from her husband who forced her to have drugs with him while she was pregnant following a two-year court case.

The woman, identified as Umm Nawaf, disclosed in a Saudi MBC TV programme that she sought a divorce from her husband three years ago after he beat her up and tortured their children many times to force her to have hashish with him.

She said that she had filed for a divorce at a local court but got a verdict two years later, adding that she had four sons from that man.

“I had to take drugs with him sometimes because I was much worried about my children,” she said. “Once he (husband) dragged me out of the house while I was pregnant after I refused to take hashish with him.”
