85% of girls issues related to escape, domestic violence
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 11 - 07 - 2016

While a number of young girls serve time in the custody of Girls Institution in Makkah on various issues, research indicates that 85 percent of these girls' issues are either related to escaping home or domestic violence, while the remaining 15 percent accounted for various other crimes, mostly petty.
The Director of the Girls Institution in Makkah Hafsa Shuaib said that 85 percent of the girls who have been sentenced to spend time at the institution either escaped from home or struggling with domestic violence issues.
"Their ages range from 13 to 26 years. The remaining percentage of other issues include theft, and being alone with an unrelated man, personal disputes and cyber crimes," she added. She explained, "A number of girls who are serving sentences within the organization have committed cybercrimes most importantly photography and defamation in order to take revenge and expose people. We live in a conservative society that does not accept such things even if it is done unintentionally."
Legal Adviser Sultan Al-Harthy explained that "Islam forbids harming others, and interference with their privacy. Doing so causes a lot of psychological and physical damage. Dissemination of personal images involves many legal and systemic violations, which prompts the legislature to include it under cyber crimes."
She added that "The crime of publicly displaying personal images require the punishment of imprisonment for a period not exceeding one year and a fine not exceeding SR500,000." He noted that victims have the right to file complaints to the police and save the criminal evidence to be sure of the source of the pictures.
Psychiatry consultant in Hera General Hospital, National Guard Dr. Recep Brisela, said that "Most of the social and psychological studies indicate that delinquency in girls may be due to abnormal education, or deprivation of basic needs, which leads to the emergence of the so-called in psychiatry "personality Alsikobatah" an enemy of society and its members, and that character is not recognized at all.
Similarly, customs and traditions that stress end justifies the means, have a catastrophic failure in the formation of successful friendships, always tend to sustain a rhythm of damage and harm others, whatever the sacrifices, or the way, and this group of girls do not feel guilty at all, but may also achieve evil in their goals,"
The psychologist noted that such patients are criminals and must fall on them the harshest punishment. They also indicated that the prevalence of this type of personality disorder Alsikobatah is there in every society and this disorder ranges in size in the community between 2% to 5%, but it is frequently found in densely populated communities, as well as poor families, or in people with low education.
The motives that urge some girls to breach the privacy of others and defame others, according to the consultant, are related to hostility and revenge toward the victim. "Usually these incidents of photography happen at events and weddings with the perpetrator showing good intentions, but have malicious motivations. Once the victim's pictures are captured, then the person begins a series of publicizing and defamation. Whatever the reasons for justification, these actions have severe consequences and cause serious harm."
A source said to Al-Watan Daily that "one of the girls was surprised a week after her wedding with leaked private photos by one of her trusted friends which created a problem between the newly weds. The situation escalated and almost led to divorce. They had to file a formal complaint against the girl photographed the newly wed and after an investigation was found guilty. She then was moved to the institution to serve her sentence after almost causing the separation of the spouses."
