(Family photo)The Canadian government says it cannot bring home a Quebec woman who claims her husband is refusing to allow her and her three children to leave Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n<p>Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon discussed the case of Nathalie Morin with his Saudi counterpart during a visit to Saudi Arabia on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>After his return from Riyadh, Cannon said he considered the case to be a private matter that must be resolved by Saudi officials.<\/p>\n<p>Saudi law allows a husband to prevent his spouse and children from leaving the country without his permission, Cannon said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is important to remember that when Canadians leave Canadian territory, they are subject to the laws and conventions governing the country where they are,&#8221; Cannon&#8217;s press secretary Natalie Sarafian said in an email.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with the French-language arm of the CBC, Morin said she has been trying to return home for 2\u00bd years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He doesn\u2019t keep me in Saudi Arabia because he loves me and wants to keep me \u2014 it is just that he wants to get money, or one day have a chance to travel,&#8221; Morin told Radio-Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Morin alleges she is regularly abused by her husband.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I cry, he hits me. I laugh, he hits me. I talk, he hits me. I get angry and he beats me,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Contacted by Radio-Canada on the phone, Morin\u2019s husband denied the allegations of violence.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the intervention of the government of Canada, Sarafian said, the human rights officials in Saudi Arabia conducted visits and investigated the allegations of abuse.<\/p>\n<p>She said the government &#8220;will continue [its] efforts&#8221; in the case.<\/p>\n<p>Morin&#8217;s mother, Johanne Durocher, said she was bitterly disappointed by the government\u2019s efforts to repatriate her daughter.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The government had important elements to negotiate for Nathalie, but didn\u2019t use them,&#8221; she said.Johanne Durocher says she won&#8217;t give up her fight to bring her daughter, Nathalie Morin, back home.Johanne Durocher says she won&#8217;t give up her fight to bring her daughter, Nathalie Morin, back home.
