Man To Receive 20 Lashes For Accusing New Wife Of Not Being A Virgin

A Judge in Mecca have sentenced a man to public flogging after he accused his wife of lying about her virginity. The accused will receive 20 lashes for publicly disgracing the new wife.
He was accused of suggesting his bride was lying about her virginity during a public outburst in front of her father and other neighbourhood elders, according to a Saudi news website.
The humiliated wife went to court to prove her honour and reputation, Al-Sharq Online reported.
A judge in the Saudi city of Mecca ordered the public flogging of the Yemeni man to be carried out in one session because he could not offer any evidence to refute the claims.He says she had been married and divorced before marrying him.
As is common in conservative parts of the Arab world, he says the marriage contract stipulated she was a virgin at the time of their wedding.
