Six year old Adam was having his weekly 24-hour visitation with his mother Rita after which he refused to go back to his father&#8217;s house. <\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/56691.png\"><\/p>\n<p>  The main charge Rita faces is that she did not sufficiently \u201cguide\u201d and \u201cconvince\u201d her young son to going back to her ex\u2019s house. This ruling is seemingly the first of its kind as normally mothers are not jailed for their children\u2019s refusal to visit the other parent. <\/p>\n<p>  This comes as part of an ongoing struggle Lebanese women have with the miserable state of personal status laws in the country. The same laws that prevent women from passing nationality to their kids and from rightful custody of their children. <\/p>\n<p>  People took to Twitter to support Choucair using the hashtags
