Don’t know what the actual punishment would be, but the answer is “Yes,” if this line of “reasoning” (and I use the term guardedly) is carried to its absurd but logical final conclusion.
His probable line of defense is that, while she could see and hear him, the reverse was not also true. He had no way of knowing for certain that an unrelated female was watching him.
Actually, I have a feeling that there is a lot more to this story than is being told. The incident maybe more like the last straw rather than an isolated first incident.
But, who knows? With these guys’ springs wound so tightly as it is, anything and nothing can set them off.

The man, whom the paper did not identify, ended his marriage on the grounds his wife was effectively alone with an unrelated man, which is forbidden under the strict Islamic law enforced in the ultra-conservative kingdom, the paper said
Islam-list
If people want on or off this list, please let me know.

Straight out of the 9th Century. The lofty goal of the ninth century is still out of their reach.

Why does this seem like a story about a “savage” who is amazed by the people trapped in the magic picture box.
The scary part is these people would probably go with a geocentric universe and the democrats would support it.

"...his wife was effectively alone with an unrelated man..."
Alone...with a man who was on TV?
I guess divorce might be viewed as humane, considering some other possible "outcomes".
