jraines87 Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 LYON, France • A French Muslim couple who sued a hospital after their son was born heavily handicapped were instead fined 1,000 euros yesterday for refusing the presence of a male doctor during labour. Mohammed Ijjou was born severely handicapped on November 8, 1998 as a result of neurological complications during birth. According to the appeal court ruling, his father Radouane Ijjou physically barred a male intern from entering his wife's room for half an hour, citing religious reasons, after a midwife asked for help with the labour.
