There Are Other Adnans Out There: "THE story published in Arab News on Tuesday about a judge who ruled that the custody of children should not go to the husband but instead to his runaway wife because the husband had a satellite dish at home, has earned the attention of our local press.

They warned against the consequences of “personal opinions” on the outcomes of decisions taken by some judges and the effect they would have on the lives of many in our society."...
A satellite dish is a very common thing in Saudi Arabia today; ownership of one should never be a yardstick to gauge a person’s moral values. A viewer has the right to choose what he wants to see and is responsible for that viewing.
