Man suspected of locking up wife for giving birth to girl

Police arrested over the weekend a 41-year-old man from the Wadi Ara village of Kafr Kara who allegedly abused his wife and locked her in their house for a month because she had given birth to a daughter.

The woman, a Jewish immigrant from Hungary in her 30s, managed to escape. She filed a complaint with the Hadera police against her husband.

The woman, who has no family in Israel, met the man about three years ago, and subsequently converted to Islam. When she became pregnant the couple decided to marry. The abuse, including her incarceration, began after their baby was born.
