S. Arabia Man to Get 4,750 Lashes

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."

Wouldn't 4750 lashes basically constitute death?

Are they going to give this to him throughout the 6 years? That would probably be the only way they could do it....cause that many would kill him....

In Saudi Arabia, apparently not. In the U.S., you'll probably get off with a pat on the back and the envy of most guys. :P

you can narrow that down to, Alabama, West Virginia, and, Arkansas
they're not talking about sleeping with your SISTER (which would narrow it down to the states mentioned above, plus a few more), rather, your SISTER-IN-LAW. no relation. just a hot dish on the side :heh:

Exactly why do the women in the middle east put up with this crap?

So what happens if a woman is gang raped and brutaly beaten? 5 years and 300 lashes?
If a woman is murdered do they beat her mother for raising her wrong?

Islam is looking less and less like a form of religion and more like a form of oppression. Women are treated as slaves.

Islam does not oppress women, Saudi Arabia might but Islam does not.
