Rape victim gets 200 lashes

Thats a bit harsh, when i first read the thread i thaught the rapists were getting 200 lashes. Poor women, it should be the other way round

No! If males get raped, theres nothing you can do about it in SA IIR.

As for this article/sentence in a country that does not allow any woman to not wear veil/scarf its appropriate. Even non muslims HAVE to wear scarf in Saudi, Egypt and Dubai.

Males or females have never been charged as guilty, by law for being the rape victm, as they are in Islamic countries.

...and on SA law, is this not true:
In South Africa at present, the common-law crime of rape is defined as unlawful intentional
intercourse, meaning penile-vaginal intercourse by a man with a woman without her consent
(Pantazis, 1999).

You will be happy to learn that you are out of date. The [URL="http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&click_id=13&art_id=nw20070522152250303C313288] Sexual Offences Act [/URL]changed that situation at the beginning of this year. The legal definition of rape includes non concensual male on male penetration as well as a whole bunch of other nasty things.

P.S. How did an article on mindless laws in Saudi Arabia manage to turn into a discussion (based on utterly incorrect assumptions) of how bad SA is?

Jeez. So if they have one tyranically law which ignores even the concept of human rights it's appropriate to have another? I guess that makes some sort of wierd twisted logic. But then, I'm just a bleeding heart liberal. Not a manly man who can stomach let alone endorse the idea of a woman being flogged for getting gang raped.
 
I was going to post the same thing, except I believe Syndyre was replying to the post about the 15-yr old French boy in Dubai, not the original article about Saudi.

Lets hope so, they are a oil hub, a booming tourist destination, many billions invested in new, purchased developments, for sale to foreigners, they are running out of oil and tourism and foreign investment is their only hope.

Remember seeing somewhere that only 7% of their revenues come from oil. They seem to have diversified quite well.

Supposedly she was in the US or EU and robbed a bank and was subsequently raped. Do you think they would have reprieved her from
bank robbery because of a gang rape? Two crimes were commited and while
I disagree with the punishment towards the woman, these are Saudi laws based on their religious principles, she's a Saudi National and had full knowledge of these laws and POSSIBLY she may not have been raped had she not broken the relevant religious law.
