In most cases it is a common belief that when siblings find themselves in court, the issue at hand revolves around inheritance or property disagreements. This remarkable true story from Saudi Arabia stands out as genuinely heartwarming.
An aged gentleman by the name of Hizam Al-Ghamdi found himself in a courtroom, facing off against his own younger sibling. They weren’t clashing over finances; rather, both were determined to take on the responsibility of caring for their fragile, elderly mother.
Hizam passionately expressed his desire to keep caring for his mother, emphasizing that she was his entire world. However, his younger brother had a different perspective, convinced that Hizam was already aging and in need of some well-deserved rest.
As the tension mounted in the courtroom, both brothers passionately made their case before the judge, vying for the cherished responsibility of caring for their mother.
Faced with uncertainty, the judge summoned their mother to make the decision. Her response resonated with everyone—she expressed that she could not choose, as both of her sons were like her left and right eyes.
As the mother struggled to make a decision, the judge stepped in to provide a ruling grounded in reason.
The court ultimately awarded custody to the younger brother, citing his age and superior strength as key factors in their decision.
Upon the announcement of the decision, a heavy sadness enveloped the room as Hizam succumbed to tears.
He did not weep from fear or anger, but rather from the profound sense of having “lost” the invaluable chance to continue caring for his mother in her final days.
