Women get punishment only when she is unmarried OR if she married but have affair with others, but in your case she is already got married so dont worry, no punishment and no questions.. forget everything and live your life happily..just pray to god always

MD, stoning is only for cases of adultery, not fornication. Now, how'd the law find out when she got pregnant if she doesn't tell people and make it obvious. And if she's seeking redemption,then let her know that sins concealed from society is best if it's always concealed, unless it leads to wrongful punishment or affects anyone else in the society. Allah is the forgiver, and He doesn't recommend social confessions.

i've known two similar cases where the girl gets pregenant (not mother) before marriage...however, in both cases the court ordered the guy & gal to get married,, they agreed,,therefore, there was no punishment. But incase, one rejects the courts order, he/she will be liable to bigger trouble.

Hello, if you are a local muslim you will be sentenced to jail. However, if you are an expatriate you will not be tried, but may face some penalties. Shariah law is not forced on Non-muslims. As long as you respect the muslim lifestyle of no alcohol and no pre-marital relations, and you do not openly flaunt these things, you will be ok. However, remember that in public these things will be taken very seriously since we are mostly conservatives.

I Fully agree with Magic Dragon.

No one is a Saint here. When you point out one finger at another person, remember that four fingers point back at you. Learn to mind your own business.

The best way to get official answers is asking the right Organization and that would be the ruling of the Qatar Shariah Court.

If she has converted in Qatar then she needs to speak to the Qatar Dawaa Centre for advice and knowledge regarding this issue.

One I know is Qatar Guest Centre (http://www.qgc.com.qa/en/)
