A Saudi Arabian woman and the man she was with were attacked and raped by 7 men.  Yes, the man was raped also.  Because the woman was unrelated to the man, she was sentenced to 200 lashes and 6 months in jail.  In Saudi Arabia, it's illegal for a woman to be alone with an unrelated man.  Apparently, the Saudi justice system doesn't give a shit that you might have been traumatized by being raped by 7 men.  Following religious law to the letter is more important.  Another judge said that if it had been his case, he would have sentenced all of them - woman, man, and 7 rapists - to death.  Hmmm, do you think that's what God would do?
