Parents Testify in Loan Dispute
A man has been ordered by the Second Circuit of Bahrain's High Civil Court to repay BD6,200 to a creditor after the court accepted testimony from his own parents confirming the outstanding debt.
According to the plaintiff 's lawyer, Abduladheem Hubail, his client had lent the defendant BD9,700 under a debt instrument.
The defendant repaid BD3,500 but left the remainder unsettled despite repeated requests and a formal legal notice.
The plaintiff submitted a signed acknowledgment from the defendant confirming receipt of the loan, along with proof of delivery of the repayment demand.
In response, the defendant's lawyer claimed that only BD4,800 remained and that the rest was interest, asking the court to investigate.
Parents take the stand
Prosecution witnesses testified that the defendant had borrowed the full amount and still owed BD6,200.
The defendant's parents, who had signed the debt note as witnesses, told the court they believed their son had borrowed BD8,200 including interest, but acknowledged he still owed BD6,200.
