A 22 year old Dutch woman who visited the Doha hotel with a friend, where the sale of alcohol is permitted, went onto the dance floor & when she returned to her drink & took a sip realised it had been spiked, the next thing she knew she woke up in a strange flat & realised she'd been raped, on reporting the incident to police she was immediately arrested & imprisoned, charged with having sex outside marriage she has been found guilty, received a suspended sentence (she's been in prison since March) and fined $824, the case has only now come to light after her parents decided to go public, she will be deported only once the fine is paid

Ek, you and me both doh laugh wine
On my last blog I got the distinct impression that some feel we should only worry about the small number of militant Muslims, so is the government of Qatar included in this small minority dunno seems to me they're working under the very same principles.
India, long time no see wave short of invading what can her government do dunno
So very sad, I do not travel anywhere abroad now it is a dangerouse planet at the moment.sad flower
Red, you wouldn't get me in that part of the world for all the tea in China doh and I can't for the life of me see how it could be classed as a holiday destination very mad
I think I´ll join Ekself too. hug bowing

When you hear about all those atrocities like the 16 year old girl in Pakistan who eloped and got burned to death by her own mother and brother!!!doh
Dani, it's almost like some of the planet is inhabited by aliens doh
Happens all the time..many women fall under the same stupid laws here..
I wouldn´t want to travel ANYWHERE!!!

Even my own country is not safe at the moment! scold
Its happened with many women and there country law keeping silent
i don't understand till date many women declared in her profile
Never married but kids live with her or leave the nest
without marriage how it is possible?
Ian, but you still choose to live there confused
Aliens here ZM? They have been here for sure for a very long time. sigh

Maybe we should go and meet the ones on other planets who are more hostile and are probably laughing their heads off at what`s happening in our world? laugh
Non, my sentiments exactly thumbs up
Dani, no stay where you are, here may be bonkers but way better than criminally insane professor
RCM, welcome to the modern world laugh in many many places around the world the population are basically non religious, I myself didn't realise religion was still so alive & well in some places till I joined CS laugh but that being the case marriage is seen as an outdated institution by many & therefore what you're seeing on profiles.
Dani, I reckon there's enough hostile here already to keep us occupied for years to come without seeking out more doh
My point is it
many government trying to control population
And make laws for Birth control like China allowed single kid
india allowed two kids after that he is not eligible for government
facilities
if without marriage people products population
so how can control population any country any government? ??????????
RCM, I can't really see where marriage fits into population control confused you can still exert the same powers over single parents that apply to married couples.
Sorry, I meant to say NOT hostile and more friendly.
Rcm. I don't see what marriage can control population either? confused

In western countries it´s becoming a norm to have kids and living together without being married.


Regarding China, now they have changed the law to 2 children per family because of the large increase of women getting rid of the baby if it was a girl. - another atrocity! doh
Daniela.....its means you support a man enjoy with a women until youth
Than leave her with kids and change another women? ???????
He run away from his responsibility
its shameful in my personal view
RCM, the laws in the west pertain to fatherhood, there's no running away if you have children married or not, a court will award child maintenance regardless, besides being married never stopped man or woman leaving for someone else, in the UK king Henry v111 saw to that when he changed the law to allow divorce when chopping his wives heads off started to become routine doh
I read Divorce very common in western country
definitely its also in india but very long procedure
if its allowed half salary of every months
and 50% property rights of women
Exactly ZM thumbs up


Rcm- Regardless whether they are married or not, people WILL separate... and get divorced if they find they cannot live together anylonger.

In the case of children, custody will have to be arranged in court for the highest good of everyone concerned.

This doesn´t mean that I approve of it, but this is the law in the western countries.
In America is the highest rate of divorce.
RCM, I believe here if it goes to court each case is looked at separately, but the 50% of property sounds about the same, most couples make an arrangement between themselves I believe.
The divorce rate is still high in the U.S. at 53%. But Spain, Portugal, Luxembourg, the Czech Republic, and Hungary are worse off with divorce rates higher than 60%. Belgium has the highest rate of divorce in this data set at a staggering 70%. The lowest official rate is in Chile with 3%.May 25, 2014
RAEL266, to me it's important we bear things like this in mind when we're being told what a friendly loving bunch they are & not a threat to anyone. Had to laugh earlier when I saw a quote from the father of the gunman in the latest mass shooting, he said what a lovely boy he was, yer right.
Sands, I'm surprised Spain is that high, I would have thought with manana syndrome they'd never get round to it rolling on the floor laughing
Hello zmountainman,wave Very sad what happened to the young lady,and what happened to the young lady in Pakistan,crying What scares me is, Canada, my country which is taking in alot of immigrants lately, is allowing people ,(who committed the above mentioned discusting acts) into the country, doh
Mapmaker,handshake Isn t that the truth, I should be dwelling upon the fact , I live in a Good country, have good neighbors and friends,yay , not listening to how crazy the world is getting. doh
It will drive me crazy, and its a short drive, rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
I am also happy where I am and don´t usually watch the news until I turn on CS and some crazy people remind us of it. roll eyes

Mind, I much prefer to read about trolleys and what they get up to as you don´t hear about it on TV or in the papers.
1to1..I hear you, I think its becoming time to close the shutters and hide.

Daniela...I cannot add trolley comments to Z' serious blog, The poor girl who was jailed needs our support and sympathy.
Map, my biggest fear is apathy, left unchecked I think we all know where this will end doh

As far as trolley comments go, why not, at least we in the west can laugh in adversity, when was the last time you saw one of "them" that can say the same dunno
Dani, we can't all hide, there'll be a Sharia court, like the one from this blog, near you soon if you do professor
There you are Map. I knew somehow you wouldn´t be able to resist it! comfort laugh
A Sharia court here, near my house?

I´ve already got a mosque...

Map, that sort of ties in with the socrates44 blog, where he talks about Ali belonging to the Black Nationalists & Black Power, when they get this "power" what do they do with it, turn the country into a wasteland doh coming back to topic, if & when Muslims get control of country what do they do with it, when was last time they made a car, a computer, an aeroplane ,anything doh they can sell oil & that's about it imo

When the time comes I will follow the trolleys into battle professor laugh
Dani, my point exactly uh oh wow
Map. I´ve already got a landing base for those ETs-
