wedding was held at the groom’s house, since she was not interested in holding the wedding. She left with the deceased to an apartment after the celebration. When he advanced towards her, she rejected him, and slept alone until the morning. They were not in good terms for the next five days. Afterwards, the deceased told his brother Elsadig about the quarrel, who came with someone named Mohamed. After a discussion she demanded divorce, an idea that Elsadig rejected, which led her to bring a knife from the kitchen, which Mohamed took from her and smacked her on the face, then they left. Mohamed and Elsadig along with Elnour came back the next day, she waited on them with some water, but they declined her offer. Mohamed instructed her to go in the room. When she refused, he grabbed her and dragged her inside. Once she was inside the room, Elnour smacked her across the cheek twice, Elsadig pulled her dress, and Mohamed threw her on the bed. They then called the deceased and asked him to strip naked, which he did. Once he was totally naked, he started to take off the rest of her cloths until she was also totally naked. He pushed her onto the bed, whilst the other three pinned her down, and then he forced his penis into her vagina. After he was done, Elnour left, but Elsadig and Mohamed stayed until the morning. They then left after she made them tea, then she went to sleep. About 2 O’clock in the afternoon the deceased tried his advance towards her again. She earlier went to the kitchen fetching the knife to cut some apples, but she couldn’t find it, and went to sleep. During the deceased’s attempt, she stumbled on the knife beneath the mattress, pulled it, and told the said deceased ‘If you come close to me, I will stab you’. He said: “You are my wife, and I will do unto you, whatever I please”. He then pulled her by the gown, and that’s when she stabbed him on the back. He wrestled her, which wounded the palm of her left hand. He then bit her on her right shoulder, and she stabbed him again in the Number: MA/ASJ/1188/2018 [Handwriting: 14 - 6] chest, and that’s when he fell on the side of the bed. She then took a shower and cleaned up the blood stains, changed her cloths, took the knife and the deceased’s phone, and left, locking the apartment, and heading to her parents at Al Bageir, where she turned herself in to the police. The fifth prosecution witness, Mohamed Abubaker, denied any knowledge of a problem between the deceased and the defendant, and denied the smacking incident. He reaffirmed the fact of his night spent at her place and attributed that to lateness of time as justification. While the third prosecution witness, Elsadig, stated that there was a problem between the deceased and the defendant, and that she refused copulation with him, and that she asked to be returned to her parents’ house. He denied any of the parties (Mohamed - Elnour) smacking the defendant and stated that Elnour asked the deceased to contact the defendant’s father, but the defendant objected (All this took place the night before the crime). The Subject-Matter Court arraigned the defendant under Article (130/1) of the Criminal Code 1991, and the defendant pleaded, her Attorney Muawia Esq., NOT guilty, arguing Sudden Quarrel, Self-Defense, and Fear defense. Dr. Ali Baldor, Consultant of Psychiatry, and the first defense witness, was heard. He stated in his testimony that he was interested in teaching romance as means of easement of communication between members of the society, and of marriage as an institution, and the factors of its success and rate of failure. He also spoke about forced marriage and it’s causing of unstable psychological state that leads to surprising events to a normal man, like the feeling of inferiority and degradation that leads a vendetta that strongly motivates crime. He pointed out that the wife’s unwillingness to give in to the husband, developed an inferiority feeling in him.
