Man gets 120 lashes for having six wives
UPI ^ | February 19, 2010

JIZAN, Saudi Arabia, Feb. 19 (UPI) -- A Saudi Arabian court handed down a 120-lash sentence to a man who was simultaneously married to six women -- two more than the legal limit.

The man, whose name was not released, told the Jizan province court he did not know he was violating Shariah, Islamic law, by having more than four wives at the same time, the BBC reported Friday.

The defendant, a member of the Saudi Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, a religious police force, was also ordered to read two chapters of the Koran and was banned from leading prayers.

So, a religion cop didn’t know he was violating religious law? Y-E-A-H.

Maybe I should rephrase that-

I know why he got the lashes. What the hell crime did he commit to get 6 wives?

“two more than the legal limit.”

There you go... They treat women like fish in Saudi Arabia.

The original sentence was 20 lashes, but then the defendent said,
“Mo’ had 17 at once but he must have been ‘special’.”

Yeah, I can see where we need to involve more Muslim countries in the Space Program. Move us from the 21st Century to the 8th Century.

I cannot imagine the horror of the six of them in a gabfest.

What a jerk. He could have avoided the 120 lashes simply by saying “I divorce you” six times.

I’m not a Muslim, and even I know that much.

Sounds like a "bag limit"

Ok, it IS a bag limit. (the pic reminds me of quail for some reason)

"Bigamy?...I think it's rather big of him!"

So, can I infer that the punishment is 20 lashes per wife? Sounds to me like he's getting off light.

Having 6 women yapping at you should be punishment enough.
