I had been living in Oman almost 13 years and had a decent job in a ministry. Those days Oman Kings and wealthy merchants went to Zanzibar where an auction happen every month of beautiful women in a market. After the auction the girl's father rewarded with money and gold. Poor Srilankan women stranded at Muscat airport. No one going to take them even put it into auction outside the airport because they are now orphans. I went to Oman two years ago as a visitor Oman and Omanis are civilised now and the population being educated well. Sri Lankans are facing worst situation now. adrifting for

Please read your own statement again and see if makes any kind of sense. Bottom line is these poor people have been lied to and are stranded in a foreign land. It is the duty of the government/country to ensure their safe return.

Why not apply sahariya law for the offenders, as done in Saudi Arabia.
