Recent statistics published by Dar Himaya in Mecca, Saudi Arabia indicated that it received 134 cases of domestic violence between October, 2005, when the institution was established and the beginning of September 2006. The majority of these cases involve women over 26-years-old. And one would  think that women in that age group would be mature enough to not put up with such abuse…

A recent scientific paper presented by Dar Himaya last month regarding the widespread phenomenon of domestic violence in Saudi Arabia, attributed the major social problem to rapid changes in lifestyle, methods of upbringing inherited from previous generations, conceptions and traditions, in addition to deviant behavior, psychological and mental illnesses, and drug abuse. Great! A kingdom full of stone age mentalities and crack heads!

There were 47 cases involving children between one-month old and fifteen-years-old (oh my God, how bizarre! one month old?!) and 35 cases involving girls aged 16 to 25 years-old. Only three cases involved males aged from the same age group. Which tells you that the majority of those with a complex are men!  [More]
