3 months prison for being alone in the company of a woman!!
More Emarati justice, 3 months seems a bit harsh: http://www.thenational.ae/apps/pbcs....80/-1/BUSINESS
Oh, and the girl going to prison for reporting being raped seems a little unfair too.

Re: 3 months prison for being alone in the company of a woman!!
I found it amusing that they could be jailed for being 'alone' when there five of them.
It probably means they were accused of khalwat - excessive closeness - which implies there was a possibility of intercourse but no evidence. I guess they managed to convince the judge they weren't interested in sloppy thirds after their two mates.
But thanks for your helpful insight.

Oh yeah that story...
she got into a car with her boyfriend, who did NOT want to talk about his stamp collection, as it turns out.
And he called up a few of his mates.
Just goes to show a ton of stuff goes on, just keep it safe and keep it quiet. But if things do go wrong, they throw the book at you.
eg if you make a nuisance of yourself at an airport, and act like a shit, you get locked up for seven years.
Surely an airport is the one place where you try not to make a fuss.

Why no? It's the same story only that last month the charges were made and this month the sentences were imposed. From memory, the girl's family disowned her, hence the lack of legal representation. An honour killing type of scenario. Disgraceful.

Re: 3 months prison for being alone in the company of a woman!!
Assuming youre being honest; Im male, 29 and I can't imagine being in that situation. It sounds painful. Is it? I just can't put myself in your shoes. Why do I always ask such psychologically stunted questions on this forum?
