The World According to Jinn ?

A Saudi family has sued a genie, it says here.

"The lawsuit filed in Shariah court accuses the genie of leaving them threatening voicemails, stealing their cell phones and hurling rocks at them when they leave their house at night, said Al-Watan newspaper... "We began hearing strange noises," the head of the family, who requested anonymity, told Al-Watan. "In the beginning, we didn't take it seriously, but after that, stranger things started happening and the children got really scared when the genie began throwing stones," " CNN reports.

The genie, or jinn, may have been intoxicated when he performed these bits of mischief. Is a drunken jinn referred to as a jinn Rummy?

Perhaps the strange noises occurred when the genie opened and closed their garage doors as this website notes they are wont to do.

I am not an expert on rules of practice is Sharia Court, but I wonder how you effect service on a genie. Do you throw the summons in a bottle? ( It is a well known maxim of equity that genies who live in glass bottles shouldn't throw stones.) Do you run around the neighborhood in which the offenses occurred frantically rubbing lamps? Can you get an order to serve by publication and if so where? Do they have their own magazines-- with names like The Jinn Mill?

When you need a process server to serve a genie--who ya gonna call--Jinn Busters? It should be relatively easy to find the genie if the cellphone that it stole has a GPS device (Genie Pinpointing Service) in it! If he serves the genie, what does he write in the area in the affidavit of service for the description--"with the light brown hair" like in the song? "Appears to be eight feet tall and one thousand years old with feet of smoke and a ring through his nose "? If you get a genie "summoned" do you get three wishes ? "Since humans usually cannot see them and humans do not appear clear to them, the human "world" and that of the jinn is considered separate, and only practitioners of "black magic" contact them deliberately." Wikipedia reports here.

Do you think the genie will put on a spirited defense? Perhaps the gene has insurance against this kind of suit--household or lampholder's Sharia compliant homeowners' insurance.
Are there exceptions to coverage in these policies for acts of Allah?

You may have to sue a jinn in his own jinn court, in which case he would have a home court advantage. Anyway, the court officers promised to look into this matter--when the spirits moved them.
