Prostitution is now official and religiously condoned in Arab land
by sabbahNow, I’m happy to see that my dream is coming true. Yes, it is not called prostitution in this part of the world, we call it Misyar, or Mesyaf (another brand in Saudi, read about it here), or Tourist marriage (like the one in Yemen, but also invented by Saudi visitors, read about it here), etc… but at the end of the day, it is official, and it is religiously approved, so I won’t go to hell if I do it, do I?
Pakistani woman, jailed for being raped in Saudi Arabia, deported
by sabbahIt’s difficult for me to talk about what happened to me, from rape to prison and from prison to deportation. I was the victim, I was raped and molested but I was named as the accused, and the man who committed the crime was not touched.
