AN INCOMPETENT RELIGION INDEED. Raped woman to be jailed, lashed Saudi court sentences victim as well as perpetrator -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: February 18, 2002 3:50 p.m. Eastern © 2002 WorldNetDaily.com RIYADH, Saudi Arabia –– A Saudi court has sentenced a woman to six months in prison and 65 lashes for getting raped by her brother-in-law and reporting it to police. The perpetrator of the crime received 4,750 lashes and six years in prison for the attack, reports the paper Al-Eqtisadiah. The man's sentence was for having sex with his sister-in-law, not rape. The court found the sex was not consensual. The victim reported the attack to the police. Having a relationship with one's in-law is considered a serious offense under the strict Islamic judicial code that Saudi Arabia follows. The court, in the port city of Jiddah, ordered that the lashes be administered to the man at a rate of 95 at a time. Lashes are often handed out by Saudi courts, although rarely in such large numbers. The court also ruled he was not eligible for a pardon "because of the ugliness and seriousness of his crime."
