Norwegian Woman Jailed For 16 Months In Dubai For Being Raped

- Norwegian woman, 25, was in Dubai on a business trip
- She was raped and reported the incident to the police
- At the station, police took her passport and jailed her
- She will now serve 16 months for illicit sex outside marriage

'I received the harshest sentence for sex outside marriage, harshest sentence for drinking alcohol and on top of that I was found guilty of perjury,’ the woman told Verdens Gang.

Under UAE law, rapists can only be convicted if either the perpetrator confesses or if four adult Muslim males witness the crime.

In the article there is a story about this happening to a 27-year-old Australian woman as well.

In short, if you are female do not ever go to Dubai or the UAE for any reason.
