world that a man doesn't have to be unrelated to sexually assault a child. God know, it happens in every country, and Qatar is no exception. I have personally known of a couple of local women who were regularly "visited" by their older brother. The abuse went on for years (and was still going on because the few people in their families they told didn't believe them).
And ALL men (hell, all people!) "could possibly sexually assault" someone, but we don't bar them from interacting with other people just because it might happen.
Why do people in this region find it so easy and so comforting to think that women can't take care of themselves and their families? That they NEED a man to do that for them?
Fubar's reasoning is at least grounded in historical realities. But those realities are no longer true today.
The law needs to change.
