The only reason I'm going to say the lady is probably a victim is because she approached the police... Having said that, I've been exposed to the party scene all over the world when i was younger... And while everyone that likes to party is entitled to have a good time without being raped or robbed, its fact that a dimly lit club and alcohol and drugs and enticing men/women are the ideal setting for things to go wrong... The woman probably befriended the guy in good faith and he let her down but for the cops, she ended up in an apartment away from the club and there's no way for them to prove what happened... The qatar police basically have no time for these scenes and i feel they've allowed these clubs and alcohol with the tacit understanding that the onus is on the revelers to be safe and within the law... They probably make harsh examples of these people to basically rid themselves of the headache and to let people know that when you go partying or meet strange men/women, you're on your own... Not just women; there have been cases of men being robbed after being lured by strange women... This guy got what he deserved for cheating on his wife and was probably in Qatar without her.. Many married men of all backgrounds have secret relationships here, while the wives are in the homeland...
Brit: Lashes are no joking matter, the person doling out the lashes usually has to take breaks because the convicts frequently faint from the pain... Considering this whole scene, i do agree the lady got off lightly due to her pro active embassy/ nationality and the guy got all he deserved... The religion clearly differentiates between adultery and fornication and the former is the much more serious offense... Never mind that the law doesn't really employ the strict Islamic guidelines in must cases... Jail and deportation is the most common and convenient recourse..
