Unwed mothers in Qatar face tough choices
By shabina921 •
Hey all, thought this story about pregnant, unmarried women in Qatar might be of interest.
Anne (not her real name) is almost out of options. The 40-year-old Filipina has been laying low in Doha after giving birth to her daughter at home in Qatar last winter.
Sharing her story with Doha News, the former domestic worker said that despite her best efforts, she knows all roads will eventually lead to jail.
When Anne turns herself in, she will become one of the nearly 100 expat women a year who are arrested and jailed in Qatar for giving birth to a baby out of wedlock...

I really love reading all your comments and bickering..
I did not see any racism on the OP as well, i just don't understand why some people are acting too smart and too clean.
Poor girls, why don't they just let it go
gj10110 I think you dont know. Shabina is the CEO or Senior Editor of Dohanews.
There is no racism in the main post. It is purely an objective news report.
Its too hot and sensitive but it really happens every worthwhile.
Reached 69 post already...
I presume this number is the only solution to this problem...
she is spam copy paste from dohanews
Some posts forum to create racism and enjoy a good fight.....
Seems Shabina921 is one of them.....No response from the creator yet....
Mods please remove this post
Why dont you do it first Boxbe, I do not have a problem with Doha News, why should i do that?
My point is, Thelo's comment is really offensive!
Who is spoiling the image here..Doha news themselves..boycott them..rofl
All this time they were quiet..and now they come for attacking...strange..AGAIN I ASK..WHY DONT U GO AND ATTACK DOHA NEWS FOR PUBLISHING THIS
Thelonius, don't be such a fool and too racist. No one have given you the rights to insult anyone we are all know that all people from different nationalities experiencing/doing the same the only difference is they can immediately find solution on it against their culture, will and laws.
Later will do, Thanks
Janney03, Thelo might not read the whole story and he might also have personal issues with these people.
GJ10, i do not have time to help you on your comprehension problem.
I gave you an explanation about the Dohanews post. You can ask TheLonius about your concern.
OK, some are pretty but I don't know why they only like old white men. you have to be at least 55 to date a filipina!
I do agree with you LLR, i can also see it with my own 2 eyes. But my point is, in the article which is being linked here in the OP, there are also Nepalese and Indians!
How can a Great Thelonius say that Filipinas are extremely stupid? And he meant ALL? Have he met us all here?
Janneeyy03, I didnt get you comment?
"How can you say all filipinas are extremely stupid? Have you met me already?"
Does it mean, you are - - - - - - as well.
Janney Good point, many other nationalities also do the same, the reason why only Philippines highlighted in the main post is cuz some of them can't afford to fly back just to have some paper works done and some of these girl try to date a man who is either already married or have no plans for long term relationship, at the end they are just left alone to deal with the cost and legal risk. I have even met some western men who keep them in home and pay monthly salaries.
You read my mind BG!
Rip i love the chemistry between u and thelo :)
He also said they were all pretty, maybe he should open his eyes!
Are you his lawyer,Boxbe?
He is wrong..AGREED..But before u say him, doha news should be blasted first
Thelonius, you better attached your fingers to your brain before commenting. How can you say all filipinas are extremely stupid? Have you met me already?
All i can see is that they are hungry for sex
Agree with you Nads, pregnancy is something like either 0% or 100% considering the available options I will go with 100% as it could be resolved with either option A or option B or C or D and so on (as long as you are aware of what you did).
whose problems is that russia's or qatar
Mistakes are equally from both sides...Babu...where is kfc and hala treat..rofl...:P
LLR I know wht u r talking about, Morning after Pills or Emergency Contraception are still not 100% effective.
There is no such thing as 100 % effective contraception.
The authorities need to look into this issue in a very humane way and if they cannot handle it they could bring in the people who are good at handling this type of cases. Putting them in jail is not the answer but working togather with their embasssies and other such organizations they could bring this cases to a happy and just solution for all concerned. Locking them up is just prolonging and extending the confusion.
It depends on whom you are talking to TheLonious. World always had differences and differences are what makes it adventurous.
ok explain why u said russia is haram
If a lady is laid off frequently by a male the chance to get pregnant is quite high even with all precautions.
ALL OF US HAVE INDIVIDUAL DIFFEENCES. EVEN TWINS THEY ARE NOT THE SAME. NOT ALL FILIPINA ARE THE SAME..YOU ARE WRONG
Agree with you Marco, Hope is what one has when he say 100% espcially while having or not having a baby, there are simple methods which works upto 72 hours and for some even 10 days.
The actual problem is the negligence of the couple.
True Story: One of my friend who is Lebanese-Russian Hybrid had the same issue. She had a very nice New Year Party and drunk and was picked up by some guy. She found it after few days but they both discussed it and sorted it out by flying back to Russia for few days. Now they both are legally binded.
Conclusion: Either on road or bed, driving reckless is always risky .
Thank You MN for some sense :)
iam wondering why did doha news target only filipinas here..this happens almost every where in the world..I think doha news have lot of unwanted time to paste scrap masalas
Lets face it, it is a stupid law and it costs the country money to keep these peoples and their babies in jail. If it is against the law then deport them.
As part of modern slavery some of these people have no choice, they get pregnant and want to leave but their sponsors deny them an exit visa. How uncivilised.
LLR:Some birth control methods work better than others, but Nad is right, there's no 100% protection from getting pregnant. The only 100% protection is abstinence.
I dont know about you Nads I know about the girls in my communication circle. I dont like to share what they do but it is of course very easy if you dont like to get pregnant.
Most of them dream very big but laid off by their boys I think not more than 2% gets what they want in terms of relationship. I am talking about the relationship between dolls from third world country to the Arabs/Westerns/Americans.
LLR r u tht naive, no there is no 100% protection.
Human rights violations - are the women Muslim and therefore subject to Islamic law? Were they raped or was there sex trafficking involved? Was the father sought for punishment? And I just love the glowing report of how wonderful the jail is!

Not all filipina are stupid.
Yes Nads but you are in 21st century, you have 100% working solutions which can't get you pregnant. Cant they buy some tablets?
Not only jail the mother , jail the father of the baby as well , of wedlock they know the consequence , but the problem is the father had plan for nine months to escape and succeeded while the mother plan for nine months where to brought out the baby she can't go home she had other family. Stupid self made predicament.
LLR u do know tht sometimes women get pregnant even if they r cautious right???
Has everyone read the full article before responding ?
I agree that jail for such a "crime" is harsh and serves no purpose. However, in this case, she had choices along the way and seemed bent on getting herself into this predicament.
It is good to abide by the Laws of the Land. I think most of these babies are by accidents not by a proper intention to have baby and no husband. Few minutes of unprotected pleasure becomes lifelong pain. Very simple, go back to you country for few days and get marry and get a damn paper, as simple as that. It is not a Human Right Violation, it is the Human Negligence to the available options ( a box of condoms, a vacation to have baby and get marry in your country).
BG its for both females and male ... to marry and have kids regradless of gender , nationality and everything.....
both should be in jail :-/
Thelo: if the either/both parties is a Qatar, situation for him/her would be even worse than deportation.
they shld deport MIL's as well
In my opinion non-Muslims should not be dealt with based on Sharia/Islamic laws.
Thelo: gotta abide by the law of the land.
some women want a baby but not a husband (which is their right).
hmm interesting they told u this personally ?
how can it be against human rights it gives the freedom to marry and have baby
HGL: both parties involved will face jail time and subsequent t deportation.
This is not only a tragedy, it's a human rights violation.
Mandi
Who are the fathers? What about them? Do they also go together to jail?
coz its not me who got pregnant
Why monkey so racist?
why do filipina women do like this
