The woman already served two years in a Makkah prison for the crime and is awaiting deportation, the Arabic daily Shams reported Thursday. The child was to be adopted by a Saudi family, but the authorities have decided the boy should go with the mother. The Asian woman, who is married, expressed fears that her husband would kill her and the child if she takes him home with her. The Saudi couple, who had no children of their own, adopted the child from a child care home in the holy city. They had no idea that the child was illegitimate. A preacher for Makkah prisons, Sheikh Ahmad Al-Shahrani, appealed to the authorities not to deport the child with his mother. “It is unimaginable for a woman to go back to her family after an absence with a child not conceived with her husband. She will definitely face grave consequences,” he warned. Al-Shahrani asked the authorities to leave the boy with his foster parents, who love him dearly and are insisting on keeping him. A spokesman of the passport police said it was not up to his department to deport the child or not. “We are an executive organization implementing the decisions of the concerned authorities.” Assistant spokesman for Makkah police Lt. Col. Zaki Al-Rihaili also said the child’s future was not in their hands. “Our work ends when we turn over suspects to the Prosecution and Investigation Commission,” he said. The Social Affairs Ministry said the case had many complications. The ministry’s spokesman Muhammad Al-Awad said according to the law, the child should accompany his mother. He, however, accepted exceptional circumstances in this case and said the boy should be left with the Saudi family.
