Norwegian citizen Marte Dalelv has left the UAE and arrived home in Oslo after being pardoned from serving a 16-month jail sentence for having sex outside of marriage.

In Qatar, where the expat was based, the case has prompted furious debate about women’s rights, alcohol consumption and personal responsibility. Rape crimes are not commonly heard about here, but that doesn’t mean they don’t happen...

Correct.

By doing so she had , in a way , avoided sending signals of her availability ... at the next level ...

So gals, when you accept job offer in Middle East, you must consider whether it covers airfare to your home country in case you get raped. If a country can not protect women's honor , it will pay dearly for her failure to do so.

OK...so if a woman does not want to be raped, she must not laugh, abnormally, that is.

Right.

and some of these facts are:

There are signals which are transmitted from the woman such as her hair or dress or skin etc.

will these signals cause rape to happen to the girl or woman in normal condition?

The answer is no, but sure a rape will happen to girl or woman when a rapist see her alon and the condition allow the rapist to rape the girl or the woman.

Will the rapist rape the girl or the woman in public places?

No

Lesson:

The rapists must be taught that these women or girls are people who desrve the whole respect and hurting them is same as hurting the community.

I wish all women and girls to be safe and living happily.

laughing which is mixed lust laughing, a laughing woman which lets the laughing reduce her respect.

Laughing is made in many ways, and it is not a major cause, but some sick men will take this as a signal of invitation from the woman to them.

You see when a woman laugh loud and in such away staring at a certain man, then I think she wants to tell him something, what is it?

Well either to make him feel jealous and that she is happy without him, or she want him to date her, when rape happens to a woman or a girl depends on factors:

1. external (rapist, walking in unsafe places)

2. internal (The woman or the girl thinks all the men are pure hear and there are no sick men at all)

that the first cause for a woman being raped is the bad luck and this is by being in contact with a rapist some how.

We need to bring back the culture back to modern society again .. I mean to say we should not feel ashamed by calling brother & sister to eachother ...

Analyse the dress sense or skin showing habit of a rape victim in her past few weeks life to come up to the conclusion ..

Abnornal laughing ... you may find answer here ...

'' one thing leads to another ''

If showing skin can be a reason for rape for some I guess they should never volunteer themselves in famine stricken or flood affected areas...guess instead of providing relief they would end up raping women around as we never know how much covered those hapless women would be.

Straight Arrow ,, I wish that "abnormal" thing happen to your keyboard and make it disappear

By Molten Metal• 25 Jul 2013 08:59

Showing too much skin [ by her ] is another important hint that goes out ....

By happygolucky• 25 Jul 2013 08:58

Thelonius...so basically women shouldnt be seen laughing at all or even showing gestures which can be construed as they are laughing..hmmmm.

I am intrigued to know, what is considered as abnormal laughing for it to be the reason or say justification for rape.

By Straight Arrow• 25 Jul 2013 08:43
Straight Arrow

and this is because when people get drunk, they do not recognize anything.

By Molten Metal• 25 Jul 2013 08:37
Molten Metal

Alcohol ... as in almost 100 % of the crimes ...

By Straight Arrow• 25 Jul 2013 08:35
Straight Arrow

then this happened because:

Major cause:

First she had a bad luck, i.e. a rapist or a bad guy has been in contact with her in any way in some place or ocasion.

1st Minor cause:

Second she does not respect her self and too much free laughing in an abnormal way with evey one she know and she does not know.

2nd Minor cause:

Walking alone in unsafe places with disregard to what she wears.

she pardons herself as well ...

I wonder who are criticizing Qatar Laws and regulations and action against crime and are foreigners! if you feel insecure leave its that simple. Ive been here all my life and Qatar thanks God is one of the safest places in the world.

in fact if they don't announce it, it doesn't mean that they don't legally solve it but they do it discreetly for the best of the victim.

Agree 100% with Mary Catherine.

Do not put yourself in a situation that guarantees more grief and pain than you already endured.

If you have been raped, leave Qatar and the GCC immediately on the next available flight for a country that has laws and medical systems that are able and/or willing to recognize rape for what it is. An assault - it has nothing to do with sex.

A 9 year old child was removed from the GCC last year for this exact reason. Her parents knew the child would not be recognized as a rape victim, so they immediately extracted her from the GCC to their home country and proper medical care.

Well, I do not think that a woman would lose her job or be put in jail for rape , "extra marital affairs"or drinking alcohol in many places on this planet.

Thank god.

Wonder why rape cases here are like ghost stories, almost everyone has one to share by referring to someone else as the source of information. Who has those 'all elusive' statistics?

..well in some places like India crimes like this do happen and get wide publicity but the problem is in places where it happens a lot more but victims are simply too scared to report it for fear of not being believed or being locked up for reporting

Good guess by reporter 'She may think that by not fighting him she will be hurt less'

I think this is it applies all over the world, however free/liberal the nation is and women are.

But these days its not rape that is common, rather it is extra-marital affairs that have numbered over rapes. Why are people not looking into this.

GCC is a very big place with such relationships.

Seems angels are not leaving in here anymore

There are all out of the middle east, where are they!!!

mmmm

Maybe in Europe ,,or USA or or or

The fact here that people here are more discrete about this kind of Issues, but that doesn't make the other countries more safe.

There are many news that does not fall in the ears of the public. Well, i tried posting some on QL and found them deleted within seconds..

So you see.

"I knew" , "I knew" .. all here say..

The simple fact is that rape is prevalent all over the world. Women often are afraid to come forward for many reasons including , not being believed or for shame.

No different from anywhere else in the world..
