Amman court sentences woman to two weeks for assault
The Amman Court of First Instance, in its appellate capacity, sentenced a Jordanian woman to two weeks in prison and ordered her to pay a compensation of 750 dinars for her assault on her husband. She struck him on the head with a glass vase and bit his shoulder. The incident occurred following an argument inside the home. The wife justified her actions by stating that she was defending her child and that she had previously been subjected to assaults by her husband. However, the court deemed that her means of defense were disproportionate to the threat and rejected her claim of lawful self-defense. The defendant was convicted, and the court reduced the compensation amount and imposed the sentence accordingly.
