“My father had two marriages and used to stay separately with his second wife. After her death, he stayed alone. He duped my sister and sent her to Saudi as she was in dire need of money. She called me from there and said her Kafil makes her work for long hours under inhuman conditions. He has also made advances on her on a few occasions,” said the woman’s brother Mohammed Asif.
