A British woman who reported being raped has been arrested by Dubai police for violating Islamic law by having sex out of wedlock, and now faces a possible 6 year prison sentence.
Both the alleged rapist and the victim’s boyfriend have been charged with having sex with her outside of marriage as well.
The 23-year-old woman, a UK citizen of Pakistani descent and herself a Muslim, was visiting Dubai together with her 44-year-old fiancée, whom she is said to be due to marry.
The woman reported becoming drunk at a hotel bar, and subsequently being raped by a waiter who followed her into the toilets at the same establishment.
She and her partner resolved to report the attack, but police were apparently more concerned with her drinking and sexual relations with her future husband than the alleged crime, charging both her and her paramour with illegal drinking and having sex outside of marriage.
They each face a possible maximum sentence of six years.
The man accused of raping her, who claims she consented, faces charges as well, but for having sex out of marriage rather than for rape.
Police are said to have insisted on blood tests to prove she was drinking, but refused to medically examine her for evidence until the British embassy became involved.
Her cell-mate is quoted as saying police were less than sympathetic:
“She’s a British girl but a Muslim, so I think they were tougher on her because of that.
She was trying to report the rape but soon realised the policemen were more interested in how often she has sex with her boyfriend.”
Superficially modern Dubai upholds relatively mild standards of Sharia law, usually applied leniently to its many international visitors, though in other respects it possesses the same medieval social attitudes as seen in the rest of the Arab world.

Update: Dubai authorities claim the woman’s rape claim was spurious, and have generously withdrawn charges of sex (with her husband) outside wedlock after the woman managed to prove she was already married… The couple still face charges of imbibing alcohol.

You guys are a bunch of old fags. I want you to find as many articles like this on sankaku as you can and tell me how many of them have to do with islam. Besides anyone muslim who has a half a brain can tell you not to go to Dubai, that place is full of people who confuse religion with culture and the rest of the muslims in this shit.
so FUNNY, seems like every single country with a mudslime RELIGION also has a fucked up evil culture. What a coinkidink.
haha.. i have read all your comment and I think most of you have some sort of low minded thinking.. maybe muslims kill, bomb, rape and do other bad stuff.. but that do not represent the true muslims, all the act above is prohibited in Islam, so when some muslims blow some ships, building etc.. that's not the true muslim... because of some person, Islam being accused as a religion of terrorist. what if your dad is a murderer, and other people also call you murderer? what you will feel? suck right? a low minded thinking like some of you, should go outside and find the truth, it better to have religion that atheist.. all religion offer peace... open your mind..
Hey moron, did you even read the news article? A woman gets arrested and faces 6 years in prison for having sex out of wedlock? Muslims like you make me sick with your barbaric practices!
Come on guys, don't be so hard on us muslims.
not everyone is perfect you know, people make mistakes with their judgment of what is right or wrong in all religions not just islam.
christians are not allowed to drink alcohol but they do it anyone however you still see them do other good deeds, same thing with muslims. also there is always those group we call "extremist" in every religion too who interpret the parts they want into something that sounds good to them and punish others for not following it. so people stop degrading a certain religion when you yourself don't follow your own religion, I admit that what the police did was 100% wrong but that doesnt mean all muslims like them, they are just a small fraction of a whole. Islam is still a great religion, and i'm sure other religions are great too. peace to all ^^
ALL OTHER RELIGIONS DO NOT arrest rape victims, stone rape victims, stone anyone, commit honor killings, chop off hands and feet for theft, execute teenagers-homosexuals-humans for having sex, execute people for adultery, flog people for drinking, force their daughters to marry their first cousins-or anyone at the age of 8, etc. (except maybe ROMANY GYPSIES) They do not force women to cover their entire bodies, arrest women (iran)for too much makeup-shoes too sexy. In Afghanistan against the law for women to laugh in public or wear shoes that make clicking sounds. Girls who go to school get acid thrown in their faces. Rape victims get arrested, flogged, executed. Couples who elope are tracked down and shot, APOSTASY leaving your religion is a capital crime punishable by death, BLASPHEMY (but only against pisslam) CAPITAL CRIME...all women sentenced to death are raped in prison because they believe virgins go to heaven automatically - also most honor killing victims are also raped for this reason.
SHUT the fuck UP.
This is curious though, she is accused of sex out of wedlock (strange islamic laws, oh well) and illegal drinking
now, explain me, how is it illegal, because:
A) she drank out of wedlock
B) She drank being a woman
C) She drank when she should have bombed the illegal bar
now, which one is the true? details please!
D) She drank.
Yeah even VICTIMS OF RAPE can and are punished for having sex before marriage.
a 14 yr old girl in Bangladesh who was raped by her uncle got sentence of 100 lashes with bamboo cane for sex outside marriage and died after 60. They also stated they realized she was raped, but still had to be punished. In that rural muslim area, girls don't urinate until night (because they have no toilets) and at dusk they are all going out to the woods to piss, that is when her own uncle caught her. His wife caught him raping her and beat the fuck out of the girl.
Islam is a religion of peace ....yea right just like my ass is only a little hairy.
Sharia law can suck my cock.
Muslims need to open eyes and realize that their religious laws are wrong. It's time for a revolution against religion.
How am I not surprised...??
Ahh (Sigh) Islam.....
So if she had been married during the incident, they would have arrested her for adultery I presume?
No, then she would have just been brutally beaten to death without a trial and have her entrails decorate the local police station.
I'm muslim :3
But it's known that some Saudi Arabians usually have biased views on all other types of people; whether they are muslim or not. I guess this was the case here, It can be called Shariah law; but that doesn't necessarily mean it is @_@.
So what's with all the hate of "Muslims" when people don't want to even understand the religion itself or the people who follow it, they just take a few excerpts from the quran; extract and analyze a quote to be put in the wrong way and then come to a consensus that all of us are bad.
Things like this news article also just adds fuel to the fire >_>
Yawn...
It's typical ethnocentric behavior. Don't let it bother you that much.
YEAH you stupid slag whore, better to just 'not report' all the fucked up shit mudslimes do, and pretend like it is fake. FUCK you, you are all bad. I hate you and all your kith and kin, your sharia laws, your slavery, your misogyny, and I understand Islam completely, I have read the Qu'ran and Haddiths, considering 45% of ALL muslims are illiterate it is accurate to say most muslims know less than I do.
don't worry,it's actualy impossible to properly judge a religion unless you actually have the same knowledge about it then you do.
i love dubai~~~~~~~~~~^^~^^
whatever we like it or not......they will rule the world soon
Islamic laws belong to the past and should remain in the past. Seriously, these crazy laws have no place in today's society.
hmmm.. cool tower :/
Meh, at least muslims are entertaining =/
For god sake we are all humans first, wither a Muslim or a Jewish or any other religion..
Peoples make mistakes all the time, if they do not they will not be people
The law here was from people, not from the religion itself
If the real Sharia law was executed..
The rapist will be thrown with rocks until he dies
There would not be four persons to admit that they saw the woman sleep with her boyfriend
And it will end with the punishment for drinking
She should never had been a Muslim if she would just ignore its teachings or at least not do it in a Muslim country where they state "Drinking is forbidden for Muslims"
Some Muslims do drink however they won't go to the police knowing they are drunk!
This would not happen to non-Muslims though
You could say this topic is between Muslims and themselves
Remember not to hate others for what religion they are, at least we're all humans or so I believe
Thats it, Muslims and Christians have to go. fucking religions, I say we round up every bible, Koran and burn them, then execute the adherents of both faiths, time to make mankind evolve.
this shit has got to stop.
Here-here. I believe in science and technology. Burn the holy scriptures and take up a textbook. Make science, and not mythical creatures called "gods".
My sister in law lives there. These women in RICH muslim countries are just as "pure" as Christians in rich christian countries. The girls give it to their boyfriend in the ass (seriously) just as "christian" american girls give oral. Yet they still call themselves virgins.
The moral here is only poor people have real morals.
uh, isn't the moral here that you just better be rich enough to afford a room where people won't spy on you having sex?
well, I guess it could also be that you better live in a place where people aren't so miserable that their only joy is to cause the misery of other people by reporting them, but I don't want to make assumptions
Good o' Sharia law again...
No comment on the story >_> I'm just sick of Islam and everything related to it.
But I have to admit that sure is an impressive tower. I can just picture starships departing from and docking to it's top...
I think in Muslim law point of view a woman is just LOW class, I think its a Male Dominance Religion.
More male voters,gets favors for men.
More female voters,gets mostly favors for women.
Their (The police) stupidity is upgradable. B***s***!
So what we learn out of the story? You better bring a priest when you are going to drunk rape a woman in a bar?
Awww poor girl...
I hope she gets a good lawyer and win the case. But i doubt its gonna be that easy cause Islamic law in some country just does not make sense.
And this is why Islam is the WORST RELIGION EVER
One of the most retarded things I've ever read.
this is god speaking and i love all of you, though most of you are undeserving. so just stfu and take it!
Well.. Muslims ARE stupid, tyrannical, rapists, hypocrites, suicide bombers, etc. You don't need a low minded thinking about that since they've proven so in the past. There's no "true Muslim", no "true Christian" nor any true religious fags.
Christians, too are stupid, tyrannical, rapists, hypocrites, but not suicide bombers at least.
No religion offers peace. They offer loads of batshit and big words of faith and harmony when in fact in the end, the damn pope wants damn power and that's there's all to it.
P.S. Muslim is a screwed religion along with their laws. They treat women like shit and their men act all mighty and faggy.

man its becoz of something like this Islam is considered as a bad religion wat the heck are the higher up thinking?!!! Thats not the way I say GO FUCK YOURSELVES with YOUR SELF MADE LAWS grrr although somehow it is quite funny hahaha
Muslims are digging themselves a nice big hole, people are waking up to the primitive, putrid, mess that Islam is.
Bleh fuck the rape.
That's a really cool photo.
My "little Johny" is the worst Sin ever.
That's what you get for going to a place like Pakistan with its Islamic lawls
Justice has been served...
{{{To the christians out there I am still awaiting the apocalypse that was supposed to destroy the world in 2000 [sorry 2001 as the christian timeline messed that up, from 1bc to 1ad, no 0 duh...!]
How can you put faith in a being that is currently 9 years late for his own second coming eh??}}}
Matt. 24:36 kinda says that, even He(jesus) doesn't know when it's going to be, only the Father knows; a few verses later says that it will be unexpected.
women deserve be raped, women are bad and assholes
The woman was freakin' raped, people! Shouldn't they be caring more about this assault rather than her personal life?!!
I did not read any comments but have a good idea about what they would be like nonetheless. I am a Muslim and am from Pakistan.
This thing is pretty common here.
You get raped. You report it. You get accused of adultery/fornication. You are doomed.
This is why so many people are scared of reporting it in the first place.
I can only guess why it is. It's probably because of the many attempts by women to get revenge on men by falsely accusing them. It's true that most women -no- most girls are heeded. If a girl accuses you, you are finished. A friend of mine had a similar experience.
That's why women aren't heeded no more.
Fucked up two times...
One extreme after another. In this case No justice has been done to all parties. Going apostate is legal isn't it? For the sake of everyone in such countries, so that they have access to civil courts (are there civil courts there for no Muslims???), it would be best that they either review such nonsense cases and set a proper standard for repeats or repeal such laws, its a different form of insanity, but with even less chance of correcting a flawed justice system . . .
I'm sure 2012 will fix everything :p
only a matter of time before Equality Now comes running to her aid.... oh hold on, shes not 2D... sorry lady
The best way to get a woman you don't like get arrested?
Rape!
I thought this website is suppose to be about Anime, Japanese culture and video games.
What has this story got to with these things? Where are the moderators.
You called?
Someone give me an example of Taoists doing something wrong. That's pretty much the only faith I haven't seen anything bad about yet that I can think of. If it really exists anymore.
Maybe its not reported as much..these things happen all over the world. What's with everyones bashing about Islam on this website.
I don't think it's right to generalize here.
We don't know the full story of the case so it ain't right to judge.
Islamic Law is complex and it takes years of research and learning, its the same with different laws in the world.
Also there's miscarriages of justice in the west including the United Stats. No one is perfect.
Stop painting Muslims with the same bash as backwards.
Would you write this kind of hatred if it was not a Muslim country?
Would you paint all black people as criminals because a black person committed a rape?
Also what's this got to do with the context of this website?
Anon will now answer all of Anon's questions, in order.
When generalization leads to an accurate and predictable pattern of real events, then the generalization becomes valid.
You can follow the link at the bottom of the article for the full story. It is therefore okay to judge.
Islamic law, and most law systems actually, are rather simple if you bother to read them. Sharia Law happens to be simply the most thoroughly unjust law system in existence.
Nobody is fully perfect, but some are more so than others. The United States are undoubtedly bad, but still a whole lot better than any middle eastern country.
All Muslims, by willingly following Islam, have proved themselves to be backwards.
If it were a non-Muslim country, this situation would never happen.
No, but that has absolutely nothing to do with this because Islam, unlike being black, has rules that encourage such behavior.
This website is Sankaku Complex. It has no context, and never will.
Yes my friend your happy to say Muslims are backwards and calling unjust on this board but you would not say it in front of a Muslim.
Laws can be simple but it depends on the cases that are presented, which makes criminal cases quiet complex because you have to prove the crime in a court of law, if there's no evidence.
We don't much about this case or what the outcome will be but generally we can only hope Justice can be made.
United States is a lot better? Oh yeah sure is that why they have the death penalty in some states? I have been to the Middle East my friend I can say to you the people there are just the same as the west.
Its not as bad as FOX NEWS makes it out to be.
Actually, I tell Muslims that their religion is backwards and unjust to their faces quite often.
Justice can never be made through a law that is itself unjust. Why should sex outside marraige be wrong? Because some guy said so hundreds of years ago? Feh.
Yes, the United States has the death penalty. So does every country in the Middle East except Turkey, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. And as rated by the United Nations quality of life index, the USA is the 13th best country in the world. The highest ranking Middle Eastern country is Israel at 38th place, and the highest ranking Muslim country is Qatar at 41st.
You see, I actually did some research for my arguments. Did you?
I don't see how this fits on a blog about Japan exactly, but whatever.
Where I'm from (U.S.) there's a little rule called "mens rea" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mens_rea). Which if this story is accurate they don't have there. What they're doing if this story is accurate therefore amounts to a lynching-by-the-state and nobody should do business with or in their country given a choice.
Three years ago, an unmarried Indian couple was sentenced to one year in prison just for hugging and kissing in the back seat of a taxi in the Emirate of Fujairah which is north of the UAE. When the taxi driver saw what they were doing, he drove them directly to the police station!
Y'know....for awhile I thought Dubai was like, some futurist mecha that would show how "modern", and "up to date", so called "normal Muslims" were.
Boy was I ever an ass.
Its called Customs you stupid idiot. Theirs things you can and can't do in certain countries.
Have some respect.
Fuck you. We should not respect barbaric customs. We should not respect cultures that treat women like dogs.
How do you know its barbaric? And the Crusades were not Barbaric? They murdered women and children who did not convert to Christianity.
Go read some history books and stop watching FOX NEWS for your information my friend.
Treat women like dogs? Women in general are treated badly all over the world does not matter what the culture is. Don't be so naive and have a open mind and respect. Not everyone thinks the same.
Its what makes people different from each other but the end of the day we are human and humans are not perfect and never will be perfect because we always make mistakes.
Not related to the article, but I always wondered what the people on the top floor of Dubai's famous tallest tower do if there was a fire...
Wow...
I thought dubai was different, I guess it's filled with dumbasses who smoke too much opium too..
Dubai has actually very faulty credit rating amongst world community. It can't sustain payment for the buildings they are building and many are left unfinished and unoccupied. Even finished buildings only look good from the outside, but inside there is insufficient commercial activity to recoup the money spent on building the building in the first place. Dubai is turning into a ghost town.
Hell, didn't these people learn anything from playing SimCity? You only build what you need!
No wonder the police are unsympathetic to her situation. She's a Muslim, yet go drinking in a country with sharia law (The Quran forbids Muslims from drinking alcohol).
This is like doing drugs in a country where drugs are illegal, then getting robbed while you got high, then go report to the police.
So drunkness has priority over rape? And your implying its her fault?
She got drunk in a hotel bar. A hotel bar where they allow and sell alcohol to foriegners. The very same hotel bar where she got raped by the hotel waiter in the hotel toilet. Not some back alley street with a shady but in a hotel with a rapist waiter.
And sure, quran forbids alcohol. It also states to kill former muslims who convert to other religion. Does that mean everyone abides by it too?
I did not imply anything except her foolish actions has consequences. People are responsible for taking reasonable precautions for their own well-being and safety. Getting drunk alone in a foreign country is just retarded.
If you go visit another country, you abide by their law, not your vision of how their law should be. If you won't do so, nobody is twisting your arm to go visit their country.
In any case, all the guilty parties have been charged. Whether she's raped or not is for the justice system to decide. The current mindset that the rapist is guilty simply beacuse the victim says so is retarded. The law doesn't care whether you agree with it or not.
Perhaps this is a good lesson in learning about the law and custom of a country you are visiting.
This Anon's harsh message is true. Converting to islam is one major mistake to make, visiting a country with sharia law, WHILE BEING A MUSLIM even more so. She screwed her own life over with stupid decisions.
Of course, it's still the islam here that's the faulty party, for most parts. Their rules are messed up beyong comprehension. But knowing things are so, the woman could have easily stayed out of this trouble.
^ Which brings us to the point that many people make of not visiting a country that's so islame.
Don't worry, fellow anon also got your reference
this is why muslims become suicide bombers.. who would want to live their life as a muslim
oh muslims, what are we going to do with you?
Too many to nuke them, how about engineering a muslim-infecting virus?
Lol, I'm pissed at them too.
But dude, you must be high. There's nothing genetic about a religion.
And if you try and genetically infect Middle Easterners you're cutting it awfully close to Italians, Greeks, Spaniards & Jews.
of course a german said that
Nothing wrong with taking down the Jew,s too.
He was Austrian
I don't know, don't you feel sometimes that there's something genetically wrong with their brain?
... And I thought Texas was arse backwards. Don't tell me as well that the punishment for the crime they are charged with is beheading too?
Nah! Gang-rape victims only gets 200 lashes of the whip. So maybe its less this time.
http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL2057524920071120
Many nukes are required to cease such religious bullshit.
.........
I understand why they want to prosecute her and all, but don't you think they have more ah...pressing matters to worry about first? Like her being raped?
lol you make it sound like they care about their women
Its funny, Islam is pretty much the only surviving Theocracy left in the world. I wonder what they did differently to not warrent complete civil revolt or governmental evolution.
They kept thier medieval practices and are not ashamed by it. Ingrained those practices into their children and punish brutally who disobeys. And make it part in their scripture that you can kill those who convert out of muslim faith.
They cut off the heads of humans who oppose them.
xD Time for new Crusades!
Nah, that's just replacing Dark Age (muslims) with a new Dark Age (Crusaders, aka fail Catholics, aka Inquisition, aka dark age faggots).
At least Crusaders openly invade and take, not infiltrate and rot-up a nobler culture from the inside out.
Yeah and it's not like the muslims won over Constantinople in the second crusade with flowers and hugs, they robbed, raped, and murdered to gain Istanbul.
that's MGS you're talking about.
