"I salute you warmly for your valiant courage," wrote one blogger, Al Yamama.
"You did the best thing because there was an urgent need for revenge and your revenge is the best."

"What she did in fact was to expose her private life and problems for everyone to see. The situation is compounded if they have children because there will be dire consequences," commented blogger Al Mezzen.
Millions of migrants, mainly from Africa and Asian countries such as the Philippines, India, Sri Lanka and Nepal, work in Saudi Arabia as domestic help. According to a survey cited by Gulf News, 54.3 per cent of those working as maids in the Kingdom wish to marry the husband of the family they work for.
