A Saudi woman won a divorce case against her husband accused of injecting her with drugs after she fell unconscious in a diabetic fit.

The woman was told by doctors that she had drugs in her blood. When she asked her husband, he told her he had to give her the drug injection as treatment.

Al Watan newspaper said the court in the capital Riyadh accepted the woman’s plea and granted her a divorce but ordered her to pay back a SR30,000 (Dh 30,000) dowry to her husband and legal fees.

“I am surprised by this sentence which did not given justice to the woman,” Lawyer Bayan Zahran told the paper.

“This case should have been classified as a criminal case after the husband’s confession,” she added.
