It's almost a capital offence here in Qatar, she doesn't know this (Bahrain's laws are much more lax on these issues).
She gets all my sympathy.
She just came here expecting to get what she wants then slams into the wall of reality. We have different cultures/laws/morals.
AND NOW FOR MY REAL OPINION:
I hope/wish that Adam/Fawaz would be fine.
I hope/wish that Rebbecca can cope with whatever happens, and that she gets to get at least frequent visitation rights. I also hope that her relation with the family gets better, right now it's too confrontational.
That's exactly why I'm against mixed-culture marriages, it usually fails, and the kids are split into pieces. (There are some rare success stories that I know, but that's exceptional).
The boy's father seems like he was looking for fun, not a wife (Marrying a Brit, then a Brazilian, both in Bahrain???? No wife in Qatar)... Many of us Qataris would marry a woman to not feel guilty about the relation. Most get devastated when they hear she got pregnant. (I don't expect their intention was to have a real wife/family, in their mind, they're just playing/dating).
She should have gotten a local lawyer from day 1.
She shouldn't have signed any papers without knowing about the content.
I'd really like to hear the story from the other side, the story is still one-sided.
It's a heart-wrenching story of a boy, with 2 cultures, 2 families, 2 names, 2 fathers, ...
