Sexually abused woman in serious condition

The woman from Gaafu Dhaalu Thinadhoo whose condition improved a few days ago after being sexually abused by her husband, is again in a critical condition.

Zeenath Ali Habeeb, spokesperson for Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGHM) where the woman is receiving treatment, said that her condition improved yesterday but took a turn for the worse today.

IGMH said last week she was recovering slowly.

Her husband, Ibrahim Shah, 40, has been arrested.

A witness told Sun Media on the condition of anonymity that the woman left her husband some time ago and had been living with her family.

Ministry of Law and Gender, on Twitter last week, condemned the abuse and assured to do everything possible to find justice for the victim.
