100 lashes for having affair with divorcee

[papa smurf]

a bit harsh but its their country and their rules

Somali woman, 20, stoned to death by Islamic militants after admitting affair with boyfriend | Mail Online


and the woman she got stoned to death, strange idea of justice some cultures have [and i use the term culture very loosely]

all in the name of religion ,....how very civilised

A barbaric celebration. just this once.

sometimes I think people who cheat on their husbands / wives get off to lightly in the country and they do breach the marrage contract when they cheat. I am bitter on this one as my ex wife cheated with 2 fellas in our case there was no reward through the courts but often if there is kids its the bloke gets screwed over again

Intentional pun I assume?

I think I have been out with this girl !

Very distressing.
That is murder, I wonder if the stoners were all perfect people.
Could they sleep after killing a young lady in such a horrific way?
The man who had an affair with her got 100 lashes.

What a world we live in.

you could argue what a country we live in when often( when it is the woman who cheats) there is a reward of the house the kids the car half the wages

But if you read the full story, She was divorced

The woman was a divorcee - but even though she was no longer married, her affair was seen as adultery in the eyes of Somalia's extremist interpretation of Sharia law.

does not make my point any less true . I was responding to the nature of the thread .

I do not agree with this kind of punishment but it is their country their rules if she had kept her knickers up and maybe got married again before doing the horizontal tango perhaps then she wouldnt be dead.

But it does make the thread not about Adultery but more about single sided archaic interpretations of religious law..

As we in the western world know it takes two to tango, but how come the guy was no-where to be seen in the hail of stones?

because the laws of Islam where written by men for men.

well I think you can look at it from a morality point of view. Like Islam or not they hold moral behavior very highly and their laws are very strong against breaches. Look at how they treat a thief etc .

We in this country have a very lax view of morality but I find that distasteful myself.

She must have known the laws but still broke them. The guy who had not been married got off lighter.

If you think about marrage vows taken in churches in this country . Both partners swear in front of almighty God to be true. Ok I realise in reg offices the vows are different but a contract is still made. Both hold no water in law. For someone to breach a contract with God in a country where it is held held in the highest order is asking for it. Not that I agree with it

If a male commits adultry they can be executed also. I remember a case of a princess years ago with the pictures in the Sun the man was shot and the princess beheaded
