"BEIRUT, Lebanon The Lebanese authorities have detained a woman and child believed to be the wife and son of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the extremist group the Islamic State, near the border with Syria, two security officials said on Tuesday. The pair were arrested more than a week ago, the officials said."
I can only think that they've detained them for information as to the location. I don't think they should harm relatives if they're not responsible for any bad deeds. It's not against any law to be married to a bad person. It turns people against them, if nothing else.
