TWO Bahrainis accused of adultery have been cleared, after a court ruled that there was not enough evidence to support the allegation. The woman, a 25-year-old divorcee, of Umm Al Hassam, admitted to police she had a sexual relationship with the man, but said he had told her he was already divorced. She said they had been seeing each other for about five months and she had even discussed marrying him with her mother. The man, also 25, denied having sex with the woman, saying that she was after him.
| Ummm... She was bangin' him, but he wasn't bangin' her? I'da paid money to see that... |
Each denied adultery when they appeared at the Lower Criminal Court last month.
| "Nope. Nope. Never happened." |
They landed in court after the woman went to the man's sister-in-law, alleging they were having an affair. The man and his wife turned up and police were called after the man assaulted the woman.
| That was ungracious of him... |
His wife filed a complaint of adultery. The defence lawyer argued that there had to be at least four witnesses to prove adultery. He said the female defendant was already divorced and believed that the man was also divorced.
| If this had happened in Soddy Arabia she'd be under a pile of rocks and he'd be moving on to his next conquest... |
