...Islamic benefit. If the wife left him and went home to mother, and her husband still wanted her, he had simply to appeal to the courts, and the judge would obligingly sentence her to the Bait al-Taah, the House of Obedience. Under this dread practice, the police would arrest the woman wherever they found her-on the street, in her parents' home-and hand her back to the aggrieved husband. He could then rent living quarters, usually below her usual standards, and furnish them minimally, having to satisfy the court that it is "between good neighbors." There...

...being stripped, handcuffed and tossed into communal cells. Trujillo's courts hauled 40 of them out of jail, quietly tried them and handed them 30-year sentences. Departing from normal practice, U.S. State Department Spokesman Lincoln White volunteered that the U.S. was "concerned" about the effect of the arrest of plotters on "basic humanitarian principles in the Americas." But the U.S. Navy, not keyed in, sent seven ships to Ciudad Trujillo harbor to let the crews have liberty ashore.
