Girl claims murder to escape forced marriage

A Saudi girl phoned the police and told them she had just murdered her mother and brother and that they should come immediately to arrest her. When they arrived, she told them it was just a hoax to escape forced marriage.

When the two policemen knocked at the door of the house in the central town of Kharj, two men in their 30s opened and were told about the murder report.

“But they told the police there was no murder and it could be a false report somewhere else…but the police men insisted on going into the house to investigate the case,” ‘Sabq’ Arabic language daily said.

“When they were in, a girl came out of her room and told them she had made the murder report…she said she had done so because her brothers want to force her to marry a man who she does not want and that they forged a medical certificate for the marriage…police detained the two brothers for interrogation and informed the family guidance centre about the case.”
