Saudi man ordered to leave Canada after choking, threatening daughter

[Jaanbaz]

A Saudi man who admitted to choking and threatening his daughter has been ordered by a Newfoundland judge to leave Canada or face arrest.

Provincial Court Judge James Walsh handed down a suspended sentence with a year’s probation Tuesday on condition that 56-year-old Khalaf Alshaek leave the country immediately or otherwise face arrest.

Alshaek reportedly attacked his 30-year-old daughter after she carried on a secret relationship with a Newfoundland man, whom she married earlier this month.



A Newfoundland judge has ordered Saudi man Khalaf Ashaek to leave Canada.

Alshaek was unaware the pair had wed, but flew into a rage last week when his daughter brought up the possibility of marriage to him. Alshaek, who reportedly accused his daughter of bringing shame upon the family, threatened to kill her and choked her at least twice, leaving visible marks on her neck.

In court, Alshaek pleaded guilty to assault and threatening his daughter.

Walsh said cultural differences offer an explanation for what happened, but do not justify the actions taken.

Alshaek claimed the incident would never have happened if his daughter had told him she was married, saying that any shame and responsibility would have shifted from him to his daughter’s new husband.

Alshaek was also ordered not to have any contact with his daughter or her husband. The couple will remain in Newfoundland.

According to reports, Alshaek came to St. John’s three years ago with his family to be a chaperone to his daughter while she attended university.

A representative from the Saudi embassy will be escorting Alshaek home to Saudi Arabia.

They will probably behead her when she returns to Arabia

Poor guy, people if they seek relationships should share their intentions with their parents and develop a trust with them.

Thankfully, we don't stone women, unlike what is taken place in your country.

This was a guy at random, but Canada suspended and kicked out your entire kin, without any hesitation, which is a disgrace, if it helps.

His daughter is to stay in Canada. But her father is told to leave Canada. Before pulling things out of your back side please re read the news. Thank you.

A lot of Saudi Arabians aren't religious, I don't know why you think it's an Islamic state or something. People there have open relationships and some of their parents approve of it. Not many have open relationships though, but, still, having conservative laws doesn't make the people religious.

Poor girl lost her father and family and now because of this incident have her scholarship suspended by the Saudi culture mission. The husband is a student like her who has no source of income.

She should have opened up with her father so he could arrange the marriage and make sure it's a moral process.

They're not like us freedom-lovin' 'Muricans who love our freedoms.
Too bad they won't be able to sing the freedom-lovin' 'Murica song which is about our freedoms. It goes something like this:

'MURICA! OH MUH 'MURICAAAAAA
GOD BLESS US AND OUR FREEDUMS!
'MURICA! OH 'MURICAAAA
EAGLES, GUNS, 'N' CHEEZEBURGERS
MUH 'MURICAAAAA

She should have but sadly she didn't and now lost everything she has built as well as her future plans.

In Islam if unfortunately someone resorts to a relationship they should be open and get their family to marry them. She's also almost like 30 so she needs to have a relationship, father should have gotten them married if he knew of the relationship and if he was a good person.

So that he could have shipped her back to Saudi Arabia in a crate!

BTW

How is an arranged marriage morally superior to non-arranged one?

You are brainwashed by conservative anti Muslim media, as if we are psychotic killers or something. He would have supported her if she was open about it and did it through legal means. It's not about arranged or non arranged, it's about legal marriage.

I am not brainwashed by any media, anti muslim or otherwise. I am basing my judgement on his action, not on religious bias like you.


Legality of marriage does not depend on consent of parents.
