News Crime Saudi women changes plea to avoid stoning
Jul 29, 2009
A woman accused of adultery in Abu Dhabi changed her guilty plea after a court judge warned her confession carried a sentence of death by stoning under sharia law, UAE daily the National reported on Monday.
The case against the Saudi woman, referred to only as R.M., was brought by her father at Abu Dhabi's Criminal Court of First Instance, the newspaper said.
"You have the right to deny," the judge was quoted as saying, following woman's admission. "The Prophet urged people towards denial in these cases."
Married and divorced men and women who commit adultery face the death penalty by stoning under sharia law. Under the same law, premarital sex is punishable by 100 lashes.
Four reliable witnesses must testify that adultery took place in order to convict a person that denies the charge. *
The woman's co-defendant, an Emirati man, referred to only as S.M., faces the same charges. He was not in court.
A verdict will be announced on Tuesday.

Blu Falcon,
As a free woman living in the U.S., I cannot possibly imagine what those under Sharia law must endure, but, last I checked,
all on this planet are human beings! And from what I have read over the years about this disgusting practice is that it IS practiced by Islamics, worldwide, as Warrior-Mentor has just pointed out.
The argument you made about "knowing better" has backfired on me. No. I know the facts.
The Islamic Religon practicing this Sharia Law can kiss my American A**!
JMVHO.
