A misdemeanor court in Doha has ordered four women to pay QR5,000 ($1,373) each for beating a fellow guest at a wedding, Al Raya reported on Friday.
According to the newspaper, the women and the victim turned the event (which only had female guests) into a “wrestling ring,” after an argument between relatives escalated into a fistfight.
The newspaper did not specify when the incident took place, but stated that those involved in the altercation apparently used knives and forks on the tables and “anything they could get their hands on” to attack each other.
Coming to blows
Al Raya reports that the scuffle started when the victim complained about the presence of a relative of hers at the wedding.
She went up to her and asked her to leave, although they were both invited to the party. Offended by the request, the guest became angry and complained to her siblings about it.
They walked up to the victim and demanded that she be the one to leave the wedding. At this point, an argument broke out and escalated into a scuffle as they beat the victim, who fought back and reportedly threw knives at them.
At the end, the rest of the guests intervened to end the fight.
The victim filed an official complaint against the women, as she sustained several injuries from being attacked with the knives and forks.
The defendants have appealed the verdict, requesting that they be exonerated from the charges.
Thoughts?
Oh wow! Guest had witnessed the live show of WWE. Anyhow, why do they don’t allow her to leave?
Youtube link please!
“those involved in the altercation apparently used knives and forks on the tables and “anything they could get their hands on” to attack each other.”
I think this merits more than a fine. Assault should come with some jail time to give these women an opportunity to ponder their actions.
Why does this article say four women? Usually DN says, an Indian expatiate or an African expatriate committed so and so crime. Why can’t we know the nationality of these violent women who are a danger to society?
Their nationality is “women”.
Because if they are Qatari that is sterotyping!
You want them to make up nationalities? Al Raya reported just as much.

Maybe they could do some research, you know, journalism…..
The point is we all know they are Qatari but DN won’t say it.
…And above all, no animal must ever tyrannize over his own kind.- Animal Farm is an allegorical and dystopian novella by George Orwell, first published in England on 17 August 1945
We don’t know the nationality.
They could might as well have been Palestinians as many of them hold female only weddings in Qatar.
All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others – Animal Farm: A Fairy Story
The Animal name is COCASIAN WHITE TRASH
I think u don’t understand my comment. i did not call anyone ‘Animal’, intend to or will ever do. I am discipline enough not to do that. I only use the Novel ‘Animal Farm’: A fairy Story to describe the situation where some nationality are mention why some are not mention on the daily newspaper + Dohanews. However, i believe many reader understand the comment perfectly.
Amazing how u Try to save ur face
Try to read the novel to understand my point. its very simple. + if my comment is how u try to describe it, Shabina will definitely delete it because that is not accepted here on dohanews.
I understood and you wrote the comment correctly. The other reader may have either poor reading or poor comprehension skills in English. Not a fault of course but leads to this confusion.
Luminary212 is obviously a child, all his comments are brainless and hard to understand
why do you want to know the nationality? so that you can judge? I guess we cant fix stupid after all.
I was pointing out the hypocrisy of how story are reporting in Qatar and it is not just DN. obviously above your pay grade to understand that.
comeon MIMH, we all know you are a big racist and you are very good at hijacking the most topics to race centric discussions meaninglessly. May god put some sense into your poor ego centric soul
I’m glad you know me so well, but I think your argument is poor if all you have to throw at me is racist. Please try harder to have an intelligent argument next time.
Sorry Ugly you feel that way, (it seems you have self esteem issues) but if God wants to teach me a lesson tell him I’m free anytime. We can go for a beer and chew the fat.
How raicest are u
why dont u youtube white trash
just becouse it happend in Arab colored country with diffrent belives and religon .
I am amazed how trashy ur
Please ur kind is not welcome in My Qatar
Asking what their nationality is, is racist? It’s obvious your first language is not English and you have issues wth non Arabs and those that don’t follow the same religion as you. Try to respect all humans.
Look up the word irony as well. Calling me racist and then using a racist insult against me. Don’t worry I’m not offended, I thought it was funny!
Hahaha
At least in Qatar
Qataris have Ethivs and morals
Ur doughter honor well be bought with a meal
U see ur self as better than them by saying that
Why dont Qatar have homeless Qatarjs like where u come from
Just childish insults. I’m sure you are not Qatari as the Qataris I know as my friends have more manners than that.
If u do u wouldnt write this
Careful now, she may still have a knife.
LOL.
I met a homeless Qatari in my country.
And where u come from
If you are an arab then I am ashamed of you, if you are a muslim I am ashamed of you more, if you are a human then living on the same world with you is an embarrassment. teach yourself some manners, as you clearly showed us here, YOU do not have any “morals”
MR morals is a shamed and emberrased becouse he doesn’t want to show other people having differant opinion than his
Your ignorance is astounding. I really cannot be bothered to answer in full as you probably wont understand so I will use bullet points to help.
* Most not all
* Dowry?
* Irony
* We don’t have slave labour living in filthy conditions.
Amazing ….
For the last sentence
just show the hate coming from ur crossadors background 😉
You mean Crusaders? So you are comparing Modern Qatar with life 1000 years ago…… Also don’t assume I agree with the Crusades – I don’t.
Anyhow, during this holy month turn your anger and hate into Love for your fellow humans regardless of Race, Religion or social standing, treat others as you want to be treated, you may well find it liberating. Peace out.
Luminary212: It would serve you well to do a little reading and educate yourself before embarrassing yourself by displaying your ignorance here. Animal Farm has been translated into Arabic, is a short, easy read & is very enlightening about how we divide ourselves into groups to the detriment of society. Ironically, that is exactly what you are doing here.
Besides “Arab” isn’t a color. There are Arabs in a wide range of “colors” 🙂
I have friends who were at the wedding. MIMH has a point.
So what was the nationality and why have DN avoided it?
For once, you are right XD
Most of these crime reports are translated from Court records. So if it mentions nationality it will be reported, if not it wont be. But I guess the journos can investigate. Since they didnt do it, its a good guess as to who they were.
Well it was a gender segregated wedding so that dramatically narrows it down.
All five of the should also be ordered to refund the bride. Weddings are super expensive, how selfish it is to ruin someone’s big day because you have issues with another wedding guest.
These ladies should have gotten some jail time.
Ladies? lol
Lol good point!
Women…
All of them should be fined because the victim started the whole thing! And the money should go to the bride whose day they ruined.
Threw knives? What?!
Ninja training probably
In the UK, this would classed as GBH- grievous bodily harm, as there were weapons used.
who cares?
People who face a charge of GBH in the UK care.
Are they for real??? They requested to be exonerated?? I would throw them in the cell n let them ponder on their selfish acts and fine them all to pay for the wedding.. disgusting behavior..
For a second I thought it was an updated old article. A bit thrown off by the same photos being used over and over and over and over and over and over and over again!
A true example of high-class investigative journalism by DN :))) Way to go!
I’ve decided that on balance Luminary212 is scary
