I asked those questions for a reason...
The fact is 200 lashes is harsh for riding in a car with a male non-relative. What if she did not get raped? Would she still get 200 lashes? Islamic law or not, fact remains, it violates human rights.
And they did not do a rape kit on her, although, the Saudi Kingdom could well afford it as much as we, the US, is paying for gas these days, to treat their women appropriately rather than using ancient codes of mores on women. But that's another thread...
