Saudi family take a genie to court over theft and harassment allegations
A family in Saudi Arabia is taking a genie to court for theft and harassment.The genie is accused of leaving them threatening voicemails, stealing their mobile phones and hurling rocks at them when they leave their house at night, according to the Al-Watan newspaper.
An investigation was under way, officials at the Shariah court said.
‘We have to verify the truthfulness of this case despite the difficulty of doing so,’ Sheikh Amr Al Salmi, the head of the court, told Al-Watan. ‘What makes this case and complaint more interesting is that it wasn’t filed by just one person. Every member of the family is part of this case.’
