A teenage girl and two young men in Iran have been sentenced to lashes for having sex. The court dismissed the girl's claim that we was raped. It said she had sex of her own free will, the official Iran Daily newspaper reported.
The girl was sentenced to 100 lashes because her accusations of rape and kidnap could have landed her partners a death penalty, the Tehran judge said.
Sex outside marriage is illegal in Iran and capital punishment can be imposed.
The young men in the case were sentenced to 30 and 40 lashes each.
Rights violations
The Iran paper quotes the girl, who has not been named, as confessing: "I trusted one of these young men, whom I got to know by phone, and went to his place.
"But because he betrayed me, I filed the case against him and his friend out of revenge."
International concerns continue to be raised about women's rights in Iran.
In December the UN General Assembly voted to censure Iran for human rights violations, including discrimination against women and girls.
Tehran rejected the criticism as propaganda.
Under Iranian law, girls over the age of nine and boys over 16 face the death penalty for crimes such as rape and murder, while capital punishment can be imposed in certain cases of illegal sexual relationships.
Oh Gawd the muslim world is retarded.
How many 9 year old girls, in the history of the world, have gone a raped someone?
"Under Iranian law, girls over the age of nine and boys over 16 face the death penalty for crimes such as rape and murder"
** "Under Iranian law, girls over the age of nine and boys over 16 face the death penalty for crimes such as rape and murder, while capital punishment can be imposed in certain cases of illegal sexual relationships." **
Looks like they're getting off lightly then.
I bet there's an old Ayotolla reading about this somewhere and muttering,
"That's the trouble with the courts these days, too liberal!"
Commence bombing immediately.
In certain 'Frisco neighborhoods, that's foreplay.
come on now that's easy.
She seduced me and tricked me into having sex with her. Frankly she raped me.
With a few more "sessions", the lashes BECOME the preferred expression of sex....
Works for the guy with the quirt.
100 lashes sounds like it could be a death sentence.
All this mooslim stuff confuses me. They get stoned AFTER they commit adultery, when I always found that getting stoned before works much better. Or they get whipped for sex. I always thought that was a normal part of marriage?

Witness "Islam Today" at its best!!
I know how you feel. The idiocy, brutality and sickness of these policies and punishments are a crime against all that is decent and human. I shudder with revulsion.
MSM-ignoring-this bump
I bet there's an old Ayotolla reading about this somewhere and muttering,
"That's the trouble with the courts these days, too liberal!"
Wrong! I bet there is some Ayatollah reading about this somewhere and muttering, "Send her to me (giggle)"
Looks to me like she's getting just what she deserves.
It's not just "the English vice" then
Just when you think our justice system is entirely off the tracks...
Oh great ...
that's sure help keep the Tehran Rape Hotline ringing off the hook ... NOT.
(sarcasm off)
More likely he wants the boys sent over instead.
Over 40 million dead, but who's counting? Thank God we're so much more civilized than those Muslims.
