Abshir Mohamed Abdi, who allegedly married the daughter of his wife before getting a divorce, has been sentenced to death by Al-Shabaab’s Islamic court in Somalia’s Lower Shabelle Region on Thursday. The convicted man, Abshir Mohamed Abdi, 75 pleaded not guilty but the judge has insisted that witnesses who were brought before the court were enough evidence for a conviction. The incident has left residents in shock and the man has been publicly executed by masked fighters from Al-Shabaab using bullets, while hundreds of people gathered to watch the execution. In Islam, stepdaughter is forbidden in marriage to the man who consummated his marriage with her mother. If a man marries a woman and consummates the marriage with her, it becomes permanently forbidden for him to marry one of her daughters.
