....Kbaisi, despite admiring your analysis presented earlier, but I won't back you or any other person up on defaming Qatar as lawless. I will not promote that without statistics.

To answer your question, a large number of rape crimes against women in Qatar is due to women uniting with stranger men unlawfully (as per the law), it makes it harder for the judge to sentence the rapist as should, and some facts of a case will force him to mitigate the punishment.

The sentence for proven rape, as applied in my country, is lifetime imprisonment or death. It should not be any less. It's the ugliest crime ever.

Note: Sorry for my late response.
