A Saudi girl who visited the hospital with her mother for abdominal pain was stunned when she learned she was pregnant. The mother nearly collapsed when her 30-year-old daughter told her she had been raped by her father, who had also raped her younger sister, 28. A doctor checking the girl at the hospital in the western town of Makkah had tried to reassure her and the mother that there is nothing wrong with her and that the pain was only because of pregnancy. “The daughter, who is not married, then divulged to her shocked mother that she had been raped by her father at the men’s guest room at their house for the past five months…she also said her younger sister had also been raped by her father,” the Arabic language daily 'Sabq' said on Sunday. The paper said the mother instantly reported her husband to the police, who arrested the 56-year-old father. “The father was found to be a drug addict and police are now investigating the case and waiting for DNA tests before filing charges against him.”
