Do they stone adulterers to death in Qatar? If so, is this punishment meted out to Qataris only, or is it applicable to expats as well? [Not that I intend to commit myself.]
It almost seems this topic discussion and others I read are trying to justify adultery in this part of the world because many of us are here working alone without our spouses. The only definition of adultery that matters is the one set by the affected spouse. I guess one can fool around while married and as long as you don’t get caught, it's OK I guess!! The worst part is that people in this forum actually openly talk about dating while married. As far as the societies are concerned, all cultures consider adultery as a serious offense. Maybe the legal system defines adultery differently where one can get away from the legal punishment. Seems there is confusion between polygamy and adultery here. Having 10 wives in an African tribe, 4 wives in Islam or multiple wives in some parts of Nevada are not the same as Adultery. The main difference is, the other spouse knows that you have a person of the opposite sex with whom you have a relationship. Try it and see if the definition fits....as long as the other spouse does not mind, it is not adultery.
in qatar, non-muslim expats are jailed for some months and then deported for life.
muslims, including expats may get lashed along with a jail term. muslim expats are deported finally for life.
having said that, i agree with expatgeezer that only the maids and drivers actually get cought in the act most of the times..
i know of a case in dubai when the local's son got the maid pregnant but the he managed to save his son by falsely accusing his driver infront of the police...the driver kept begging for the DNA tests to be done but somehow the tests were never done and he was deported after serving 3 months behind bars.
in some tribal cultures in africa, having as much as 10 wives is legal, and in some cultures earlier, sex slaves were legal. even at this age, in countries like germany, there are government registered prostitutes..
so, it all matters what's the definition of adultery in the society you are living in.
Unfortunately, it was us Christians who did the burning for books and witchcraft. And that was several hundr3ed years ago. I guess I believe the timing does matter. If it were going on today I would feel somewhat impelled to speak/act against it.
*The islamic punishment for adultery doesn't apply to people of other religions. Its a different punishment which i am not familiar with
*But if you are a Muslim it should apply to you no matter where you are from. And its not a straight death penalty, the Shariah judge looks into the matter and then he decides what to be done.
>>So if you are not married man or woman, you get 100 slashes,
>>if you are married then the punishment is death by stoning, but there are a few requirements for this to apply to you, like confessing and having at least four witnesses. This is not really more of a punishment but as a repentance for what you have done. I know this sounds really horrible, but if applied no adultery=no HIVs [ideally].
"applicable to expatriates as well? [Not that I intend to commit myself.]"
I was wondering about your query.
Nope, no stoning to death business. There is a proper legal system there. As an expat, if you get caught, you could be jailed and deported, maybe lashed in the process, depending...

This is Doha not Iran.
lolzz
You will get deported
aha...ur a** :P
peace
aha in some cultures a president populatery goes up by committing adulterly and being a player i think that is very civilized
i dont know...
what i know is that, it is written "do not commit adultery"
I see , so stoning is barbaric but cheating and committing adulterly is a civilised act? what kind of logic is that?
This act is barbaric.
Unfortunately, it was us Christians who did the burning for books and witchcraft. And that was several hundr3ed years ago. I guess I believe the timing does matter. If it were going on today I would feel somewhat impelled to speak/act against it.

no , but it was couple hundreds of years when they killed and burned people for reading books, or practicing black magic ;).
it is not about the time right?
st100281, I think it's been a couple thousand years since Jews stoned anyone for adultery.

Good news..:)
"People called Romanes, they go, the house?"
Deal .. You provide the beards and I'll bring the packet of gravel ..
I remember been lashed/whipped few times, by a lady in leather. Damn it was pain and pleasure at the same time.
Brit - no women allowed. And I sell fake beards!
Expatgeezer spot on mate
lolzzz
that means she is lesbians
as lesbians get banned especially in 2022 ;)
Are women allowed at the stonings ?
One Shot must be your Syrian charm making it difficult for her to stay faithful :-P
no we usually burn them to death,every night in ramada Hotel.
but why you want to cheat your husband? O.o
Generally stone adulterers to death is only if you were married!!
singles just get lashed and deported for one year, This applied on qatari's only
don't know about others,,
by the way, this was in the past!
now the married or single qatari's get lashed and Jailed and non qataries get lashed and deported
on your butts and then a kick out of Doha nothing els
No stoning here and the punishment is applicable only if you get caught
Punishment only applies to the poor maids and drivers caught in the Sponsors house.
The rest of the adulterers are roaming the streets without the fear of the punishment.
Nothing like a few lashes to keep you going ...
Ofcourse, spanking can also serve a similar purpose- especially if carried out in the right sorroundings..
A good lashing and you are on your way home
[Not that I intend to commit myself.] Defensive huhh....very obvious...
Youtube (like Wikipedia) being a reliable source of information for all things - hmmm?
you are not welcome because am busy right now going to work you can welcome later
Thank you both for your responses.
I am happy to know there is a proper legal system in Doha. I saw a video on youtube which really prompted me to ask the question.
only lash and deport thats all
