Exactly UKEng. The law may be based on that, but it isn't implemented in that way, at least not consistently. And many things in Qatar give the impression that the law isn't based on that at all - nightclubs and bars, for example, positively encourage unmarried men and woman to mix.
That's my whole point (and yours too I think) - Qatar doesn't know what it wants, which causes confusion and inconsistencies. If they made an outright decision over what was allowed and what wasn't, and wrote it all down so everyone knew where they stood, it would benefit everyone.
Your example backs this up; nowhere is it written down that an unmarried male and female can't share a taxi, and hundreds of people do it everyday without any bother.
