Sheikh Habib of Yemen was celebrated by Mufti Musaliar for talks. This was also the first time that a close member of the family of the deceased was ready to negotiate.
This conversation took place under Sharia law. It gives the family of the deceased the convict the legal right to forgive without any condition or in lieu of blood money.
The family of the deceased refused to apologize to Nimisha
The Mahdi family refused to forgive India’s nurse Nimisha Priya, who was trapped in the murder of Yemen’s citizen Talal Abdo Mahdi.
According to the CNBC report, Mahdi’s brother Abdel Fattah Mahdi had clearly stated on social media that I do not want any apology or compromise in the murder of my brother.
Mahdi said, justice will win, even if the punishment is delayed, but will take revenge. No matter how much pressure or pleas, we will not forgive and will not take blood money (the amount given for blood).
In an interview to BBC Arabic, Mahdi also said that we demand ‘Kisas’ (revenge) under the Sharia law. Not only murder, but this case which lasted years has also caused a lot of damage to our family. Therefore, do not want to take any amount of compensation.
Case of murder of Yemen citizen on Nimisha Indian nurse Nimisha has been jailed since 2017, he is accused of killing Yemen citizen Talal Abdo Mahdi with a drug overdose.
Nimisha and Mahdi were partners in a private clinic in Yemen. It is alleged that Mahdi took Nimisha’s passport in his possession and used to torture her.

Negotiations took place through Riyadh, not Indian Embassy in Yemen India does not have a permanent diplomatic mission in Yemen. In 2015, the Indian embassy was closed in the capital Sanaa due to political instability and was transferred to Djibouti.
The Government of India talks to the government of Yemen mainly through ‘Non-Regrant Ambassador’. The Government of India is currently talking through the ambassador present in Riyadh.
The Supreme Court expressed concern over Nimisha’s sentence The Government of India had said in the Supreme Court on July 14 that it cannot do much in the case of Nimisha. Attorney General R Venkatarmani had told the court- we can only go to an extent and we have reached there.
In this case, the lawyer of ‘Save Nimisha Priya International Action Council’ told the court that the only way to save her is to accept the family of the deceased ‘blood money’ (compensation).
The victim’s family was offered US $ 1 million (about 8.5 crore rupees), but he turned down it. The family had said that the matter is related to their honor.
Timeline of nurse Nimisha’s arrival at Yemen and Mahdi’s murder…
Nimisha was stuck there due to civil war in Yemen
Due to civil war in Yemen, India started ‘Operation Relief’ to evacuate its citizens from there. The operation lasted till April-May 2015, in which 4,600 Indians and about one thousand foreign nationals were removed from Yemen, but only Nimisha could not return to India.
In 2016, Mahdi started harassing physical harassment with Nimisha. He also grabbed the profit of Nimisha’s clinic. When Nimisha questioned this, the relationship between the two deteriorated. Mahdi did not want to let Nimisha go out of Yemen, so she kept Nimisha’s passport with him.
Nimisha also lodged a complaint with the police, but the police took Nimisha into custody for 6 days, as Mahdi claimed to be Nimisha’s husband by showing edited photos.

Nimisha gave drug overdose, Mahdi died
Nimisha was very upset. In July 2017, Nimisha injected her unconsciousness to get a passport from Mahdi, but it did not affect. Nimisha then gave overdose to Mahdi, causing her death.
According to media reports, Nimisha pieces Mahdi’s body into the water tank. After this, the police arrested Nimisha.
Yemen’s Supreme Judicial Council sentenced Nimisha to death for the murder of Mahdi. Nimisha filed an appeal for apology in the Supreme Court of Yemen, which was rejected in 2023. President Rashad also approved the sentence on 30 December 2024.
Blood money raised from crowd funding to save Nimisha
To forgive Nimisha, her mother also tried to raise blood money by selling her property and through crowd funding.
In 2020, ‘Save Nimisha Priya International Action Council’ was formed to protect Nimisha from punishment and collect blood money. A well-known businessman from Kerala announced to give Rs 1 crore to save Nimisha.
According to Sharia law, the victim side has the right to fix the punishment of criminals. There is a death sentence in the murder case, but the victim’s family can forgive the guilty by taking money. It is called ‘Diya’ or ‘Blood Money’, which is also mentioned in the Quran.
In Yemen, they shoot and punish near the heart
In Yemen, only death is punished by shooting. However, there is also a provision for stoning, hanging and scoring heads, but they are not used.
Before shooting, the guilty is lying down on a stream or blanket.
The doctor then puts a mark in place of the heart above the back of the guilty and then the executioner shoots in his back with an automatic rifle. In some cases, punishment is also given for whip before the death penalty.
Death sentence for crimes like Kissas, Hudud and Tajir
According to Yemen’s Penal Code, there is a provision of death penalty for Kisas, Hudud and Tajir.
- Kisas: The law of eye instead of eye, under this, the victim’s family has the right to take blood money in cases of murder.
- Hudud Crime: Crimes like adultery, homosexuality, religion and robbery can be given death penalty under Sharia.
- Tajir: Death penalty can be given for serious crimes such as terrorism, espionage, or treason.
