Wife flees 'unfaithful' husband day before delivery

A Saudi woman waited until she felt she was about to deliver and fled her house in the Gulf kingdom to punish her husband for his infidelity, a newspaper reported on Saturday.

A day after she barricaded herself at her parents’ house, the unnamed wife went into labour and gave birth to a baby boy at the hospital in Riyadh, the online Arabic language daily 'Kabar' said.

“She wanted to deprive her husband from seeing his baby as a punishment for being unfaithful to her,” the paper said.

“She told her family she knew that her husband was seeing another woman…relatives and friends on both sides are still mediating to mend fences and allow the man to see his first son.”
