Muslim woman let 'secret' baby die then dumped her body for fear of dishonouring her family!

[Alpha Blondy]

A mother who gave birth to a baby girl in 'secret' following an affair, let her newborn die before burying its body in the ground.

Fatima Ali, from Bury, Greater Manchester, feared she would bring shame upon her devout Muslim family for having the child out of wedlock.

And after giving birth to the infant - alone her bedroom, she cut the umbilical chord and left it to die.

Last Friday at Bolton Crown Court Ali burst into tears as she was given a 26-week prison sentence, suspended for two years, and subjected to a twelve month supervision order.

Sentencing, Judge John Appleby said, 'You failed to seek medical assistance following the birth of your daughter.

'The tragedy that followed is at the immense disaster for this child. She died within two hours of her birth, and, had you acted appropriately, her life could have been saved.

'There’s no evidence that you ill-treated or assaulted the child and it’s still a mystery perhaps as to the course of action you took following her birth.'

'This is a tragedy and the result of your actions will be with you for the rest of your life.'

Earlier the court heard that Fatima lived with her aunt and uncle.

Her family had disapproved of her relationship with Kazi Mohammed Dilwar Hussein and, when she had fallen pregnant, her partner gave her money to have an abortion in Birmingham in 2009.

 

Nazir Afzal, Greater Manchester Chief Crown Prosecutor said: 'Whatever the community or familial dishonour or shame, real or perceived, that Ali may have felt, it did not justify the tragic death of the most vulnerable victim, a new born baby boy or girl.

'Life is a precious thing and not something to be thrown away in a nearby garden.'

 

On trial: Ali was handed a 26-week prison sentence, suspended for two years at Bolton Crown Court for leaving her baby to die shortly after its birth

Defending, Lisa Roberts, said her client had made a bad decision and was still physically and emotionally in shock for some time after the birth.

Roberts added that having been raised by her aunt, she effectively had two families to disobey by having a baby out of wedlock due to their culture.

Miss Roberts noted: 'She went out with her family that same evening. What else was she to do? She had concealed her pregnancy from those she was closest.

'It was a bit late to be telling them, having given birth in her bedroom, to say she was unable to go out.'

Miss Roberts added it was hard to imagine the circumstances which Fatima faced.

'She has genuine remorse and genuine understanding of what she has done and why she has done it.'

Miss Roberts said Ali realised how foolish she had been getting involved with a man who had promised to marry and support her, but instead left the country.

Her phone revealed numerous texts between the defendant and her partner - who was out the country, one of which included a photograph of the baby.

The court also heard how Fatima's entire family had since been ostracised by community members, not only for what she has done, but also because of the relationship she had out of wedlock.

Roberts continued: 'She has cultural processes, that some cannot begin to understand, that still play a significant part in her life.'

She would have killed herself too, Shame:@

[Blessed]

She had choices, many, many choices and access to security and protection here in Britain but yet she decided to do the most evil and selfish thing to hand. 26 weeks in my opinion is not enough. I hate it when some people pull the cultural / religion card when it fits. Shame!

[nuune]

Just remembered a woman of 30 years old back home in 1983, where she dumped her baby in the toilet, the toilets back then were open with small hole, and you can see the baby floating, I witnessed the baby floating, and was among many people gathered to see and break up the toilet to pick up the baby whom the skin totally got removed due to the chemical waste, lafihii iyo madaxii oo is heesta gacmihii iyo lugihii oo lad-laado ayaan ka soo bixiney meesha, at least the whole body was in tact but no skin at all.

 

It was horrifying experience but one that is nothing compared to my other horrible stories I witnessed.

[Blessed]

In Somalia women didn't have access to the support that this woman has here in Britain. Even so some did what they had to do and raised their children even with society looking down on them. Her excuse that she didn't want to dishonour her ' devout Muslim' family just pisses me off, killing a helpless little baby is the most dishonourable thing one can do in this world.

[nuune]

^^ If I was the judge in court who will sentence her, sanado kumaba xukumeen or dil, I would say, halaga malaaso, total malaas!

[Alpha Blondy]

is she even a muslim? real muslims dont kill other muslims or their babies! i'm not surprised laakin. there was an interesting programme recently on panorama, the bbc flagship current affairs programme, and it was about honour killings within the asian community. i wonder if such terrible things happen within the somali community. my old brother once told me that such events occurred in pre-war hargeisa. apparently, the xibiga area was a common place where young women, who had illicit relations outside of the sacred (whether marraige or not), dumped their new born babies. some still had the umbilical cord!

^^ waxey taheyba, dayuusad daama kuus kuusan weeyaan

[Blessed]

LOL@ malaas. How about the pig who got her preggers and left her to it.

 

Alpha,

Apparently most of the children in the orphanage are caruur 'aan aabo lahayn' and while I commend the authorities for providing a sanctuary for these children, the attitude our society has towards these helpless children is still very depressing and they are often forced to live in shame.

Use condom or dont give up the goods until your local imams certifies the deal. Love you and promise to marry was maa caleesh.

 

AUN the baby.

sad story....

Abandoned baby found in Dublin guesthouse

 

 

Irish police have confirmed that a baby boy was found abandoned in a guesthouse in the centre of Dublin.

 

He was left at the Glen Guesthouse in Gardiner Street on Saturday by a woman who flew to Germany later that day.

 

Gardai were contacted after a shocked member of staff found the child alone in the woman's room.

 

The baby, believed to be just a few weeks old, was taken into care. The authorities are treating the case as a health rather than a criminal matter.

 

He is now said to be doing well at the nearby Temple Street Children's Hospital.

 

Gardai have been in contact with their German counterparts in an attempt to talk to the mother and to pursuade her to return for the child.

Sympathy

 

The baby was discovered at about 08:00 BST by a 28-year-old cleaner, Zhana Klisuoska.

 

He had a change of clothes, some nappies and a soda bottle.

 

The owner of the guesthouse, Martin Tynan, said the woman had checked into her room on Friday night and his staff had not noticed anything unusal.

 

The receptionist had given the guest a telephone number for the night porter in case she needed anything for the child during the early hours.

 

Mr Tynan said that, since the discovery, he had asked the authorities several times about the baby's welfare and was assured that he was being well cared for in hospital.

 

He said he felt sympathy for both the child and his mother.

 

The guest room where the baby was abandoned will remain out of use until a forensic examination is complete.

what do you mean, Muslim, read the article I posted, is it a Muslim who dumped that baby body in the room!

[Narniah]

In the article it says that her family was aware of her illicit relationship and didn't care nor trouble her . She wasn't really scared for her life. It's just that having this baby wasn't convenient for her. This woman is evil incarnate.

 

The baby is now in Jannah with Allah.
