A buddy of mine got 500 lashes for sleeping with an illegal woman. She overstayed her visitor visa. They kicked down their door early in the morning and dragged them both off to jail. She got 50 lashes and deported. He got 500 broken up over two days and was deported.
He says it was more embarrassing than painful because his company rep and some of his friends had to be there.
He says the caner didn’t even keep count half the time so he never got the full 500.
The caner also has to hold a Koran under his cane arm. If he drops it your sentence is over. The target area is from top of knees to shoulders and if you are hit outside those areas your sentence is over.
Well, glad you found it mild enough to handle. Still, I stand by what I said, that several women who got relatively fewer lashes did NOT survive them. I recall a young girl, also a rape victim who told, who lingered for some days and then passed away. That was Pakistan a few years ago.
