Husband cheating?

[farha]

asslam alaikum,

it's regarding my little sister who is married now for 2.5 yrs.She is a pretty doctor and right now is a housewife with one son 18 months old.The husband is only son living with parents one sister who is 18 and the other sister in states 27 who used to be my sisters friend.

The family was very loving towards my sister before marriage the brother was in Russia doing his engineering when he came back they proposed and my dad thought that he has been brought up in saudi arabia as my sister and we knew the family so they got married and all of them are in saudi arabia.Everything was fine for the first 4 months of marriage and once my sister got pregnant things are bad.Last year she found out that he goes to Bahrain every weekend on business meetings and then she came to know it's a christian lady he goes to.it's going on for a year now.My mom knows but my dad had a bypass and is on oxygen so he is an emotionally weak person we don't tell him anything.
After knowing that he has an affair the inlaws are so bad my sister keep saying bad things to her but they do not physically abuse her it's just the mental torture.The husband doesn't talk to my sister and they tell her u can leave if u want but the son will stay with us.My parents are weak so my sister knows she doesn't have anyone to go to.What should she do i am scared of her going crazy.My mom did so much istikhara before the marriage and now also she says that if the kid was not there we would have asked you to come back and leave him she doesnot want to leave the son what should we do.
Please help in the light of Islam.
Wassalam,
Farha.

Your sister is an educated muslimah being trained as a doctor. You also mentioned that your sister was quite close to her sister in law before her marriage. She has a few options to be considered i.e. seeking the help of her sister in law to convince her husband's family to treat her as the innocent injured party and the due respect that she obviously deserve and her right to her child as her husband forfeited his right to bringing up the child because of his immoral and illicit act.

She could also file for divorce on the ground of her husband's illicit relationship and especially in SA this would be highly unacceptable.

She is in a better position than most women as she has a respectable profession to fall back on if she is divorced. The only thing hard for her would be the possible loss of her child.

May Allah provides and guides her.

May Allah Protect This Relationship Ameen

It feels really sad to hear that but that's what the truth is.What I feel is that, as you said they are living in KSA,actually things there are pretty tight regarding all these issues,but nothing is impossible.You said your sister is a well trained doctor,so there is nothing to worry about even if she takes a divorce from her husband or if he doesn't want to stay with her because your sister is quite capable of leading an independent life.But what worries me actually is the custody of her child,this is a very sensitive issue and as far I have seen,the father mostly dominates.So anything you guys decide to do,I hope better you consult with some other good people around and then go for the action.

Isn't he put to death for this sort of thing if he is a Saudi or is that punishment only women ? Can you clarify?

[Tayeb]

Death sentence is imposed only on married people. Single people get different punishment.

[Netcurtains3]

...but the note says they are married and the husband is cheating with, it appears to be some sort of holy woman or nun - if I read it right.

So if she went to the police wouldn't he be put to death?
