This seems to be the general dictionary meaning, I have been through 3 different sources.....

Adultery
'Voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and someone other than his or her lawful spouse.\

So Qatari courts are using the wrong term or using it incorrectly, and I am sure it can be fought in a court of law that two unmarried persons are not committing adultery......

It is very sad that in todays modern world, where Arabs seem to commit more adultery than anyone else.... that two consenting adults get "reprimanded" like this.....

And another thing, I read in the article that she had done this before and it went on to describe another incident where they saw her allowing someone into her room..... Now that begs explaination, because if they had a problem with that, why didn't they go and knock on her door immediately and discourage the behaviour.... why give them an hour before taking initiative.... where they intentionally trying to trap her?

Just a thought.
