Sentenced to death because you have a child out of wedlock OR you commit adultery?

WTF! What about the man! Even if they want to kill her, why should he go free? I'm sorry my people had to go through slavery but I'm glad I not over there!:eek: :eek:

Scary stuff. The baby's cute, however.

not just Africa!
 
This type of punishment is according to Islamic law. This type of incident happens in other Muslim areas such as India (where a man can disfigure a woman by throwing acid on her because she refused him), Afghanistan (where the Taliban does not pemit women to appear in public w/o a male escort) and other countries I cannot call at this time. I doubt this would happen in non-Muslim African countries.

This is true. Many countries that follow strict Islamic law adopt these principals. Cut of your hand for stealing, the family of a murder victim will initiate the excution. I knew someone who was Indian (Muslim) and when his fatehr died his mother had to stay indoors for a year to ensure she didn't get involved in another relationship until the year had past. Islamic law has alot of strict rules for women in particular.
