King Fahd’s widow wants support continued
The widow of Saudi’s King Fahd is continuing her bid for financial support although they have been estranged for 10 years.
Janan Harb, 58, who has lived in London since her husband suffered a massive stroke in 1995 told The Times of London she had told her lawyer to continue with the legal process.
“I have to talk to my lawyer and we are meeting with Islamic lawyers, but of course, as a wife, I have my rights,” she said.
She married King Fahd in 1969, but issued a writ seeking support last year after she allegedly failed to receive maintenance payments for many years.
Fahd was laid to rest on Tuesday after his body, wrapped in a simple brown robe, was borne from a prayer service by his sons.
