RIYADH, Saudi Arabia ?? A Saudi court has sentenced a man to six years in prison and 4,750 lashes for having sex with his wife's sister, a newspaper reported Sunday.

The woman involved in the case was sentenced to six months in jail and 65 lashes, the paper Al-Eqtisadiah reported, though the court found she had not consented to the relationship. She had also reported the affair to the police.

Having a relationship with one's in-law is considered a serious offense under the strict Islamic judicial code that Saudi Arabia follows.

The court, in the port city of Jiddah, ordered that the lashes be administered to the man at a rate of 95 at a time.

Lashes are often handed out by Saudi courts, although rarely in such large numbers.

The court also ruled he was not eligible for a pardon "because of the ugliness and seriousness of his crime."

4,750 lashes... at a rate of 95 at a time


OUCH! :Q

 

[MacBaine]

Thost crazy Saudi's are at it again! What antics will they think of next?

 

[yellowperil]

Interesting how they report the man's punishment in the title, but not the woman who is basically raped and punished for it.

that better had been some world class poontang...

 

[compuwiz1]

Ouch. I'll be sure to make myself a note, that next time I have sex with my wife's sister, not to do it in Saudia Arabia.

 

[Zim Hosein]

At least it's not one of those countries that they would cut his "unit" off for that type of behavior.

That's the part I'm having trouble with. The women is apparently raped and reports it to the police. She then gets six months in jail and 65 lashes.

Something is wrong in that country.

It didn't explicitly say she was raped, but the article seems to describe it. I first read it as 95 a minute :Q

 

[FrancesBeansRevenge]

Such 'peaceful' laws based on such a 'peaceful' religion.

 

[BruinEd03]

i think when they say 95 at a time...they mean 95 at a sitting...so i think he'll get like weekly whippin' treatments or something hehe

That is pretty sad

 

[Logix]

I bet he won't do it again!

 

[ZeroBurn]

jeebus, we're talking 95 lashes a week, every week, for a full year.

that's not even worth nude jello wrestling britney spears


..with kristen kreuk reffing

 

[Buzzman151]

blah doesn't that just suck

 

[Anghang]

if she didn't consent to the relationship, does that mean that a relationship actually existed? *boggle*...or does that mean she was raped?...which would explain why she reported it to the police, in which case means that she got 6 months and 65 lashes for being raped...*SHEESH*...

Interesting? I don't even think it's surprising. We are talking about a country where women are expected to cover themselves in a burqua veil from head to toe, lest they inspire uncontrollable lust in any men who should see her.

They're probably giving her the lashes because she accidently let him see one of her toes, and that provoked him to such a passion that he committed rape.

What a backwards-ass country.

 

[Nitemare]

That's the price they pay for living in such a backassward country..

Why anyone, especially a woman, would choose to live there is beyond me...However they do..so not much we can do about it, I'm kind of immune to it by now. I used to care about what happened to people over there. Then I thought to myself, there is nothing I can do and besides if the US tried to intervene all the other countries would hate us and tell us to stay out of their business..

Does the guy deserve the lashes? Probably
Is it wrong for them to lash and imprison the vistim? Yes
Do I wish they would stop being ignorant savages? Yes
Do I care? Be lieing if I said no.

The woman was raped(intercourse without consent) and she gets punished for it even after reporting it.. The sad thing is if she did something to the guy after he raped her, she would be put to death(probably stoned, while he was exhonerated).

 

[Corn]

Ah yes, another example of the peaceful nature of this ancient civilization.

Is this the kind of "freedom" those freedom loving terrorists are fighting for?
