It was Allah's will.
Norwegian rape victim sentenced to 1 year and 4 months of prison in Dubai for sex outside of marriag
- Thread starter Darg
- Start date
Man of Honour
This rape victim in UAE didn't get a prison sentance but her attacker got 10 years in prison so there laws can't be as bad as people think.
Dubai: A student has lost his legal battle and will spend ten years behind bars for kidnapping and raping his wife-to-be.
Dubai’s highest court on Monday rejected the appeal lodged by the 25-year-old Emirati student, F.A., who was seeking a reduced jail term after insisting he had consensual sex with his 30-year-old countrywoman.
The Dubai Cassation Court’s presiding judge Mohammad Nabeel Riyadh overruled F.A.’s appeal and upheld a ten-year jail term against him.
In February, the Dubai Appeal Court reduced F.A.’s life imprisonment to ten years in jail.

I have heard this also...
Dubai: A British woman who was kidnapped and gang-raped by three Iranian men in Dubai has come forward to talk about the brutal attack.
In an interview to XPRESS a week after the Dubai Court of First Instance sentenced two of the accused to ten years in prison (the third one is missing) the woman said: “The judgment has restored my faith in the UAE. I am grateful to the authorities. I am glad I chose to stay in Dubai and not only report the crime, but see the trial through to their [accused] conviction.”

Hopefully in a globalised world we may see countries named and shamed for treating people badly and more and more places become free to visit for everyone.
Found this.
..One of several widely quoted but wrong assertions in the international coverage of Marte Dalelv is that in the UAE a man can only be convicted of rape if the act is observed by four male witnesses.*"Saying that the criminal law in Dubai is from Sharia law and needs witnesses, this is not true," says Hassan Elhias, a leading lawyer with Al Rowaad advocates and legal consultants in Dubai. "The information is totally false and misleading

Apparently she was charged with perjury too for changing her statements and not being able to make up her mind whether she had been raped or not.

Welp... that all turned out to be slightly less outrageous than initially reported, eh?
What a stupid, stupid woman. And bloke.

I am sure all those who criticised the country and their authorities and people who didn't just jump on the band wagon will happily hop into this thread and say hmm maybe we did actually jump the gun a bit on this one when no clear facts or evidence were put forward.
Yes, you are correct there are plenty of posters in here who were willing to jump in and castigate processes and people on heresay without any sort of real evidence. That not only sounds "backwards" to me but also pretty retarded.

Yup, more than happy to admit that myself.
