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.

120 lashes for having six wives. Nothing new in the fatherland of Islam, considering that this guy was a member of the CPVPV.
To: myknowledge
You would think 6 wives would be enough punishment.

Assuming he was also afflicted with six mothers-in-law, I would think the poor man has suffered enough.

I’m surprised they didn’t lash the wives for his having more than the legal limit. I’m sure there’s some punishment coming their way...especially for the two “extra” ones who now are presumably “used goods”.

Six at once? No way can that turn out well!

Were the lashings for breaking a law or just being plain stupid?

He said, “I laugh at your lashes, I have six wives you know”.

The man has six wives. Six Mother-In-Laws. Face it. He’s a glutton for punishment. The 120 lashes probably felt like foreplay to him.
