Is Dating Legal or Illegal
So Deepb and I stop hijacking the Single in Qatar thread :P I'm going to ask this important question here.
Is dating legal or illegal in Qatar? To clarify by dating I don't mean premarital sex or adultery, I mean going out to dinner and/or a movie with a man/woman who is not your husband/wife or relative.
There's been debate about this issue in the past on QL but I don't think anyone's ever given the exact answer. So here you go, anyone know?
ROFL Britex!
legal
any girl wana friend ship email me @
[email protected] i m 24 male doha

Dating is immodest... An example ...
An Orthodox Jewish couple, preparing for a religious wedding meets with their rabbi for counseling. The rabbi asks if they have any last questions before they leave.
The man asks, "Rabbi, we realize it's tradition for men to dance with men, and women to dance with women at the reception. But, we'd like your permission to dance together, like the rest of the world."
"Absolutely not," says the rabbi. "It's immodest. Men and women always dance separately."
"So after the ceremony I can't even dance with my own wife?" "No," answered the rabbi. "It's forbidden."
"Well, okay," says the man, "What about sex? Can we finally have sex?"
"Of course!," replies the rabbi. "Sex is a mitzvah - a good thing within marriage, to have children!"
"What about different positions?" asks the man.
"No problem," sa ys the rabbi. "It's a mitzvah!"
"Woman on top?" the man asks.
"Sure," say s the rabbi. "Go for it! It's a mitzvah!"
"Doggy style?"
"Sure! Another mitzvah!"
"On the kitchen table?"
"Yes, yes! A mitzvah!"
"Can we do it on rubber sheets with a bottle of hot oil, a couple of
vibrators, a leather harness, a bucket of honey and a porno video?"
"You may indeed. It's all a mitzvah!"
"Can we do it standing up?"
"No." says the rabbi."
"Why not?" asks the man.
"Could lead to dancing."
lol Britexpat :)))
I love dates! Qatari dates are very good too. And I like green dates better.
Flan, the law is not against having one, just using it!

PS How's the Kitty, Olive?
visit www.qaws.org
I have chatted to a gazillion people in my lifetime....all colours, religions, nationalities and as far as I know it has never ever led to a divorce.
Such behaviour as adultery leads to divorce - it usually leads to just pleasantly passing the time or sometimes friendship.
Just read a few posties.. Agreed - basically, allowed but no PDA.
Besides, this is a good thing actually - where you get to know the person better without your raging hormones messing up your logic.
Purely emotional decisions = mistakes.
*****************************************
Beauty lies in the eyes of the beerholder.
a man and a woman dating .. its illegal?
so meaning to say we need chaperone while dating..
owz..so bad.
Well jack at least the rules regarding alcohol are quite open. Oh and I remember one of the statements given by the Judge, when he sentenced a couple who were deported for being in a park alone - Ignorance of the law does not make you innocent.
Alcohol is also legal...and illegal....
Not asking for your personal opinion about dating ,Khattameethapaan. Do you have any reasoning for why you think it's legal?
Is what people used to say to each other at work like:
Good morning
How are you today?
Have a nice weekend.
Chatting in my opinion will always lead to other side talks and many of divorce cases took place because of chatting Oryx it is obvious that you are a good woman who thinks that all people are good.
deepb no they are not allowed at all.
Can you tell us what is exactly the correct speech btwn a man and woman???
Ah, misread that then, oryx.
SA, the rules for your friends are applicable only in Qatar? Are they allowed to "date" when they are in Bahrain or Thailand?
Straight Arrow said We as Qataris ...
are not allowed to chat with foreign women for nothing
But what is nothing???? Just being pleasant and passing the time of day???? A specific reason?
And Deep I said wearing a miniskirt SOMEWHERE ELSE... maybe australia.... culturally subjective NOT qatar
It is ok to clarify some points and clear things out, the speech between a muslim and muslim woman or any other woman has some conditions and that is what I am trying to say.
I'm not wrong UKeng. Legally, they are not allowed to show knees or shoulders. So no miniskirts above knees or sleeveless tops. I did mention that these legalities are not necessarily enforced. But one complain from any malicious person and they will be enforced.
deepb..wrong again.. miniskirts are illegal in certain environments.. come with to a bar on Thursday and I will show mini skirts in Qatar..:)

Straight Arrow, I'll see into not talking to you ever on this or any other QL thread again.

Oryx - miniskirt and sitting on someone's lap would definitely get you into trouble here. For one miniskirts are again illegal if they go above the knees ( another one of those rules which are enforced randomly). Sitting on someone's lap is public display of affection ( not allowed for married couples even ).
are not allowed to chat with foreign women for nothing, but if it is for clean business or education or work then it is ok.
We have what is called the border line which we must not cross.
We also as Qataris know that the best Qatari people are those who are open minded and living with others in peace and following their religion.
The religion which tells us to respect the good values and ignore and correct the wrong and bad values.
Straight Arrow, soon, a massive number of Egyptian writers won't contribute to IslamOnline.net ...:((
But that's irrelevant.

'idle chat or flirtation' - but what is that Olive???
Very culturally subjective
If I look a Qatari guy straight in the eye, smile, say Salam Alekum - some would see that as way too forward.
If I had a miniskirt on, sat on someone's lap somewhere else, it wouldn't necessarily be seen as flirty.
And BTW I find a lot of Qataris just to be naturally charming....where is the line btw 'idle chat, good manners and a little flirty'?
Very hard to define - hence BIG blind eye
There are Qatari men and women who conduct business meetings outdoors. Rare, but it's noticeably on the rise.

lol SA, and how would you legally judge the persons intentions to marry?
deepb, I agree with the last statement, and has happened in real life. When two are found sitting in isolation in a car for long or look or behave in a "suspicious" manner in darker quiet spots, they're prone and can be held liable if spotted by the police or complained against by the public.
Salaam
If he wants to marry her and has good intension to live with her and build a family.
WITH A DEEP SMILE ON THE FACE HEART WALKS OUT OF THE ROOM
Happy - Sharia law states it's not allowed for unrelated members of the opposite sex to be "alone". Yes, malicious people can easily use that to lodge a complaint against you.
Would you like to date Soniya with a male friend even if you are married?
deepb..by dating we mean two people a male and female sitting together over coffee or a meal. They may be alone or in a group. That is not prohibited by any law I know of in Qatar.
Of course malicious people can make a big deal out of it, report it to the police and wrap it in their own made-up "pervert" story.
Salaam
Well under sharia law, dating would be illegal. I know criminal cases are judged under sharia law here. And civil cases are not judged under sharia if the people involved are non-muslims. So if someone complains, would this case be registered as a civil case or criminal? I'm thinking criminal.
I have a solution for you how to get slim.
will you do it?
SPEED, dating is illegal in Saudi by law, but in Qatar it's legal. It would be made illegal in Qatar only by tradition, not by law.

If your still on the P90 program, remember the dietportions are intended for a Male and even then, they are quite on the heavy side. I'd recommend a much lower diet and continue with the same exercise routine. Also, 7 days a week is not that great, as the body does not have sufficient time to recover, so 4-5 day of the program on rotating basis would be better.

UK I honestly believe the are promoting Homosexuality here. If they are not promoting it then they are definately fostering an atmosphere or culture that approves of it. What other reason is it that unmarried men and women can't socialize together in a society that has the strong "moral values" and religous beliefs?.
safe. These rules applies only in KSA but not in Qatar.
It really funny.. one can land in trouble here for holding a lady's hand on the Corniche yet the authorities are turing a complete blind eye to the men holding other mens hands?
Are they promoting Homosexuality here?

Where I come from, if a guy proposes, him and I are given a chance to get together a couple of times to get to know each other, supervised or unsupervised, preferably at the girl's home, in privacy.
If the girl expresses comfort, they may hang out for a couple of more times (outdoors) to test the waters and see how both are handling socialites and the like.
Families vary in terms of how long they let the couple-to-be see each other. Most probably they won't like it to continue for longer than a few weeks.

How can one judge whether it's casual friends hanging out or a date if they are not indulging in any PDA :-/
Oh so your coffee meets are dating? My definition of dating must be out of date :P
No I don't suppose I've been "caught" but than again I haven't gone to any great length to hide it. When we're out in public in a restaurant, we're on a date. What I'm curious about is what would happen in the next 32 days if someone reports me and my fiancee for "dating" while we're out for dinner.

Coffee and Lunch in a group and alone are two different things FS. As I said, I know about the sharia law that prohibits two unrelated people from opposite sex from being alone. Again, does being in a public place count as being alone? Saudi sticks to their laws and enforces them. Here they are enforced, if someone complains. If they don't complain you get away with it - does not make it legal.

Dating is absolutely necessary befor mating. Qatar is not allowing proper human interaction.
I think Olive wants to find out the technical law part of the law, not the part that is being chosen to be ignored or treated laxly. As far as I'm aware, its illegal for two people of opposite sex to be alone. So if anyone complains, dating would be punishable by law. I don't know about a movie or dinner, but a long drive would definitely be illegal.

Smoke.... I think a long drive together (just the two) can be looked at differently then going to a movie or dinner as then the two are alone in a closed place as against the other scenario where the two are still in public.

But as deepb said smoke, under Shariah law men and women aren't allowed to engage in idle chat or flirtation if they aren't married. The question is whether or not Qatar follows Shariah law.

Its totally in the hands of DATING COUPLES to allow their affairs to get noticed or not..
There's no law forbidding two people going for a movie, dinner or long drive together. What is forbidden is PDA even between husband and wife in public...if i'm not mistaken?

don't think so.....

I don't think it wld be illegal if both of u maintain some decency when out in public..PDA(public display of affection) is not acceptable.
Do people get engaged by correspondence then?
yeah it is illegal ^_^
