All of them got sentenced.
Alethia....that is the letter of thier law.....males and females cannot intermingle if they are not related.
Just think....if something like that was instituted here how many sexual predators we could probably be rid of....
But here is my question...what the heck was the guy doing with her picture and why was so pressed to get it back???

I don't think implementing something similar here would get rid of ANY sexual predators.
Just think... if something like that was instituted here how many women would pay for the crimes men committed against them.

wait...before we go there....remember...boy sides were punished....the men were punished for the rape and she is being punished for being with those that were not related.
I am not blaming the woman for what happened....
HOWEVER....that is thier culture and thier law. I am sure she knew it.
Waiting for Kevin to weigh in.

I know that they can't intermingle, it just makes me sick anyway. Even the fact that women can't show their ankles or whatever is disturbing too. However, I do understand the cultural differences, I just think the punishment (for many crimes, etc) is archiac. I have more intellectual things to add to this conversation... it's still to early for me right now though lol.

Are you kidding? The best way to NOT get rid of sexual predators is to act as if it's mostly about what the victim has done to put her/himself in the presence of a predator.
Besides....
A large percentage of rapes, sexual assaults, molestations, and murders are done by relatives.
The Saudi letter of law is Saudi's. We have more than enough patriarchy in the U.S. that we don't have to borrow Saudi's. Let's not pretend that Saudi's laws are to protect women more than they are to protect the gender status quo.
