Answer 1

Ahh first of all, we dont care if u are expats or whatever. She broke the law and she got served. Atleast that s**t can have s*x peacefully in jail. Actually there 3 crimes to be taken in regard

first , s*x in public----has always been my fantasy

secondly -----they are not married, so this is an adultery

thirdly --- she even yelled at the peacful policeman,

So, is it fair then,hmmm i would say "She got served"

Answer 2

yh for indecent exposure in a public place. i dont believe in her getting convicted for having s*x out of marriage of whatever it was though.

Answer 3

Dear Friend

Whoever it is, Wherever it is; No matter law is law, rule is rule, beleifs are beleifs always.

So at first the visitors, no matter the nationality should undestand the laws and beleifs of the country he is going to visit. And he/she should obey 110% the laws what that he/she not doing in their country (not following the laws in their country itself). Also if anyone goes to a country they should respect the beleifs and dressings etc of the country. Dont wear unfair dressings. There are lots of websites that describing the laws, beliefs, dressings, etc.

Better to give more than six years (not only for her, but for him too) in Jail and before leaving the jails she/he should thourough the laws of the country... Just think once, if the couple were in Saudi Arabia!!! (Sure they will get more punishment, here it is more liberal) Thank God

Best of Luck

Thx

Answer 4

[sigh]  I'm inclined to agree with you. If she does go to jail, maybe it will give her a chance to get sober and improve her life.

I don't know the penalties, but in the US also it is illegal to have s*x on a public beach, to be drunk and disorderly, and to assault a police officer.  I imagine it is in the UK too.  Is it just because it's in Dubai that it's a big deal?

Answer 5

No.

Tourist have a responsibility to understand the laws of countries they visit.

Answer 6

It should actually be longer  -  even if she don't respect herself, she should respect others, and s*x is suppose to be a private thing between two people, not a circus

Answer 7

Man..that is so ridiculous! Hope she gets out of there!

Answer 8

Ok, i think she deserves more than that, but i have a question, why the article is focusing on her not on the man or on both? they did not mention his name, even he is a hoildaymaker

Answer 9

yo sup

well not its DEFINATELY NOT FAIR.look gettin penalty for 'ADULTRY" IS RIDICULOUS TO BEGIN WITH WHAT IS WRONG with radicals why do they care about sombodys personal life and where is the freedom of religion here.

regardin the law many ppl in dubai we are not married have s*x so why is she gettin arrested for adultry for???

look i been there i seen russian, arab and other middle eastern hookers operating openly but where are the cops now?they simply let them do their "business" so if the government can tolerate prostitution why cant they tolerate wadever somebody do in their personal life.

i dont know why u wish she gets punished for but i wish she gets released its a stupid law to begin with and even then, many are doing it so i dont get why she is being charged for

arite peace out!@

Answer 10

Right now nobody know what the punishment will be. Can be between 3 months or 6 years. They broke the law and  now they have to face the consequences. That's what I call fair and necessary.

They got warned once (that's the first time I ever heard about the police warning somebody first!). They continued what they were doing and then she started fighting the police. They  were drunk in public. What do you expect?

Fact is, if you are in a foreign country, follow the law/custom and do not speculate if a punishment for breaking any law is fair or not. What they did is so unrespectfull that I do not feel sorry for them. But - I am quiet sure what ever prison time they have to serve, they will not have to fullfill it. Sooner or later as Brits they will be pardonned and be send home.

Take care!

To bush=warcriminal: why do you alway talk about radicals? Please tell me how the US police will react finding sombody having s*x in the public and then fighting the police?

I as a foreigner walked in Oklahoma with my dark skinned husband and Americans threw beer and cola cans at us. That's what I call radical!

If you would know the UAE then you also would know that there is freedom of Religion. What are you talking about? We have churches, temples etc.. And guess who gave the land to these Religious intitutions for free? The UAE Govt.!

I agree with you on one thing, yes there is prostitution in the UAE which is against the law. But why? It's foreigners demand and believe me, the police are after them, but as a tourist you won't see how the system works.

Anyway: The UAE is a Muslim country and adultery is against the law. Point blanc. There are many American Laws I do not understand and call not acceptable, but when I am in the USA I follow them no matter if I agree, understand or accept them. The same I expect from anybody visiting a foreign country.

Answer 11

It's in the Arab world, it's THEIR country and it's THEIR laws... those s*x starved hot hormone types were lucky they didn't lose their heads.

Why do AmeriKans try to apply THEIR supposed rights under their constitution to situations on OTHER countries.

The law is the law of ANY  country and if you don't respect it... YOU PAY THE PRICE.  I've lived in a lot of countries where I didn't agree with the laws and customs... but I went out of my way NOT TO BREAK ANY.

Answer 12

If you flout the laws of other countries you deserve all you get.
