A Filipina housemaid and her Bangladeshi boyfriend were sentenced to 100 lashes each after a United Arab Emirates court found them guilty of having an illicit affair.
News site Gulf News reported the Sharjah Sharia Court ordered the Filipina, identified only as N.M., jailed and deported for “unlawful sex” as well.
The report said the court also sentenced her boyfriend, S.M., to be jailed for a year for entering the house of the sponsor without permission. He will also be deported after serving his sentence.
Court records showed that the Filipina had sex with her boyfriend in her sponsor’s house in Sharjah, bringing him to her sponsor’s house when the sponsor’s family was not home. The sponsor, however, saw the boyfriend leave the house one time and notified the police.
The police arrested the lovers, who admitted to the crime.
The Filipina told police, the prosecutor and the court that she used to bring her boyfriend to the house whenever the family was out. Both admitted having sex several times in the sponsor’s house.
Citing Shariah law, the Gulf News report said Muslims who commit adultery will be lashed and deported if they are expatriates. Non-Muslims who commit adultery will be jailed and deported.
Since both the Filipina and her boyfriend are both Muslims, they will each be lashed 100 times. – KBK, GMANews.TV
