A Muslim woman expected to enter an arranged marriage in Phoenix was raped, beaten and sexually assaulted by her groom-to-be after she refused to marry the man, Fox 10 News Phoenix reported on Wednesday.
Mohamed S. Abdullahi, 30, who was arrested on Tuesday, reportedly faces sexual assault and kidnapping charges. Police referred to the alleged victim as a young adult.
The report said that the families agreed on a “Nikah,” a formal Islamic marriage. The woman, who apparently had no desire to be with Abdullahi, ran away but returned about 15 days later to finish school.
Police are investigating details leading up to the alleged assault, investigating whether the woman’s Somali family forced her into the apartment where police say she was raped and held against her will.
The Arizona Republic reported that the woman was brought to the apartment Monday.
One neighbor told WAFB.com that she saw the woman shaking and crying as she was dragged onto the sidewalk. She said she would have called police if she was aware of the situation.
Once in the apartment, police reportedly said Abdullahi placed a mattress in front of the door to prevent her from leaving. The alleged victim eventually managed to send a message to her friend from her tablet, WAFB.com reported.
Abdullahi was criticized by the Arizona chapter of the Center for Arabic Islamic Relations, saying the allegations have no basis in the Islamic faith.
“Abdullahi was criticized by the Arizona chapter of the Center for Arabic Islamic Relations, saying the allegations have no basis in the Islamic faith.”
What allegations are they talking about? The sexual assault and kidnapping charges are American law, which hopefully isn’t altered by Islamic faith, and why would that mentioned in reference to him being criticized by the Center for Arabic Islamic Relations?
I think what we have here is another semi-literate “journalist”.
“A Muslim woman expected to enter an arranged marriage” ,, well.. there’s your first mistake
sure would like to know what the AGE of the woman involved here.. wanna make a bet you would consider her too young to make this decision ?
The woman, who apparently had no desire to be with Abdullahi, ran away but returned about 15 days later to finish school…. usually when the word “school” is used this means 12th grade and under so less than 18 years old ..(im betting she’s way younger than that ,anyone know?)
if she were going to College , im sure that’s the wording that would have been used , and as stupid as “journalists” are today, they would have even named the college ..
Once in the apartment, police reportedly said Abdullahi placed a mattress in front of the door to prevent her from leaving. = kidnapping
