Ashwaq Al-Twairqi Okaz/Saudi Gazette MAKKAH — A judge at the General Court here has ordered the city police to implement his verdict granting custody of three girls to their mother. Amoona Tawakul, lawyer of the mother, said her client filed a case three years ago for a divorced from her husband, a drug addict, and the court granted her divorce and child custody. However, the husband's father refused to implement the child custody verdict and deprived the three girls — aged 9, 14, 15 — from visiting or contacting their mother for two years. “When the husband was released from the prison, he went back on his word and said he wanted the girls to stay with him,” Tawakul said. Although the mother tried to reason with her husband and his father to convince them to let her raise her daughters, they refused. She filed a complaint with the police then brought a lawsuit against her husband and his grandfather to have the court order them to implement a verdict which should have been enforced two years ago, the lawyer said.
