Brenda Brenda:
No, she is not held against her will. SHE CAN LEAVE WHENEVER SHE WANTS. She made the choice not to leave because she doesn't want to leave her kids. That is her CHOICE. Every woman abroad that wants to leave her husband has that same choice. You cannot go back to your motherland with the kids without their father's permission. Even when your kids are born in your former country. The choice is yours then.
Brenda she CANT leave, in Saudi Arabia a woman cannot get on a plane without a mans consent (Father if not married, husband if married). A woman cannot travel without a mans consent. In Saudi Arabia a woman cannot do almost anything without a mans consent. If her husband says she cannot leave the house, she cannot legally leave the house.
