Why is r*pe so uncommon in Saudi Arabia?
When we talk about the prevalence of rape in different countries, it’s important to consider various factors that contribute to this societal issue. In the case of Saudi Arabia, several cultural, legal, and social factors can help explain why rape is relatively uncommon in comparison to other regions.
Cultural Factors
In Saudi Arabian culture, there are strict social norms and values that emphasize modesty, honor, and family reputation. These cultural beliefs often serve as a deterrent to potential perpetrators of sexual violence, as the consequences of such actions can be severe, both in terms of legal repercussions and societal backlash. Additionally, the culture promotes gender segregation and strict regulations on interactions between unrelated individuals, which can limit opportunities for sexual assault.
Legal Framework
Saudi Arabia has a legal system based on Islamic Sharia law, which includes strict punishments for crimes such as rape. The penalties for rape in Saudi Arabia can be severe, including imprisonment, fines, and even capital punishment in extreme cases. The fear of facing these consequences can act as a deterrent for individuals considering committing such acts.
Social Dynamics
In Saudi Arabian society, there is a strong sense of community and collective responsibility. This communal solidarity can provide support and protection to victims of sexual violence, encouraging them to come forward and seek justice. Additionally, there are increasing efforts to empower women and promote gender equality in the country, which can help create a more inclusive and safe environment for all individuals.
Conclusion
While rape remains a serious issue globally, the unique cultural, legal, and social dynamics in Saudi Arabia contribute to a lower incidence of this crime. By understanding and addressing these factors, we can work towards creating a safer and more equitable society for all individuals.
Remember, no matter where you are, sexual violence is never acceptable. If you or someone you know is a victim of rape or sexual assault, please reach out to local authorities or support organizations for help and guidance. Let’s work together to create a world free from violence and injustice. 💪🌍
Damn
Religion and country are completely separate, just because a country is generally associated with a religion doesn’t necessarily mean all the people in that country will follow the teachings of that religion.
Islam is a very beautiful religion and does not encourage such behaviour.
Their culture is shit
Arab countries have high crime rates. Its just never reported. Women are slaves and can be bought and sold by their owners in Saudi Arabia. Rich Saudi’s buy thousands of women and keep them as slaves until they kill them and get rid of the evidence. Thats where a lot of the missing women and kids from Ukraine are right now. Also dont support gay rights or you will not survive the punishments
Yeah exactly, same with why it’s so common in Sweden.
Lmao Saudi is lucky , it has that oil money
warra excuse to be islamophobic
Religion has nothing to do with the judge system in Saudi, just because it’s a religious country doesn’t mean that the rules are based on Islamic teaching. This is based on shit leadership of the country. Islam is heavily against such acts like these and in fact it is taught to respect women especially mothers as well. If you did some research rape would be classified as zina which is one of the worst sins a Muslim can commit. This can range from r*pe to even s*x before marriage. To the thing about Islam promoting violence. The only thing that mentions violence is the stories of the battles the Muslims went through as a defensive response to oppression and violent acts towards them. (If you want more detail on this then you can simply google them). Just people a small minority of Muslims who have misinterpreted the qu’rans stories and believe what they are doing is justified doesn’t represent Islam and the whole religion. Same can go for Christianity, no? Have people forgotten about the crusades, pogroms, the kkk and even the Christchurch mosque shooting. These are all events that Christian’s have partook in and attempted to justify it as they were doing it for religion. Do I think Christian’s are violent? No, so why should the same treatment go towards Muslims in general as well then?
How can you be so sure? Did you live there? Have you even visited?
I live in Turkey and they come here all the time, so I can understand the minds of these motherfuckers.
They make it clear because women have fewer rights than men in Sharia.
They also have to show it in Arabic
They should separate religion from laws imo. They’re allowing people (foreigners and non-Muslims) to drink alcohol there, which is against the rules of Islam. I don’t think repealing this law will be too difficult
if nobody can report a crime, statistically crime rates are low…
This is true to an extent. As a Saudi resident myself, I’ve seen many cases that aren’t related to rape but just because a woman reported them they almost always believe her and the case reaches to the court. However, most cases in court get postponed and sometimes Denied.
I’ve had multiple instances where a woman accused me of sexual assault just because I was with a friend group who catcalled her. Even without eye witnesses we All ended up locked for a day and had charges against us
Okay I’m a Muslim girl here and I live in Iraq next to Saudi Arabia and that’s not true at least not in the majority of society. From what I notice, its uncommon because we girls are very well educated to not stay alone with someone from the opposite gender , no matter who they are or how much we trust them it’s an unspoken social rule here and we tend to not talk without reason with males strangers in general so that also lessen the contact with them. Even our high schools are all gender separated. In my 18 years of life I’ve never encountered any case of rape or sexual assault is my area. You can go spread your misinformation elsewhere
probably because marital rape isn’t recognised by the law
4 witnesses are required in cases of rape if the man is to be lashed or stoned. (Or the rapist’s admission, but today’s criminals are not that honest or self-accountable).
Lashing and stoning are not mild punishments; they are severe. So the threshold of reaching and implementing these requires 4 witnesses. If that is not reached, the person will not be lashed or stoned.. regardless of the circumstances.
That said, if there are other forms of circumstantial evidence then the ruler can have a discretionary punishment to be implemented on the perpetrator. But those punishments just won’t reach the level of lashes or stoning.
There is absolutely no harm if the prosecutor or accuser presents forensic evidence to prove his/her case, which will definitely help in obtaining a confession from the criminal. And if a confession is made, the condition of presenting the four witnesses for a rape or ‘zina’ case would be inapplicable.
If the accuser provides the forensic evidence, the witnesses aren’t required as the case is proven and thus admitted by the criminal
Get your facts right kid, before pointing and maligning a particular religion.
If you want to make a point, kindly research about it, before putting your statement
because islam is the religion of peace
Gotta love people using countries and actions of individual persons as an excuse to spread hate about a religion, or anything, for that matter. Arab culture has nothing to do with islam. I would ask you to show me where in the quran says that it’s permissible to rape women but you probably aren’t educated enough to know what the quran is let alone actually able to provide proof to youre claims. It’s been known and is clearly obvious that there are many radicalists in any religion. Islam is one such religion that gets a lot of publicity for such radicalism. But that’s all it is. Radicalism. It is not representative of islam itself in any way shape or form. This applies to any religion. Christian shooters are not representative of Christianity are they? Educate yourself so that you can separate extremism with the actual religion itself, doesn’t matter what religion. I am a Muslim that is not Arab and I actively condemn Arab culture and the way it’s tainted Islam. Using Allah as an excuse for meaningless massacres and terrorism is fucking abhorrent. Rich fucked up people will always find something as an excuse to carry out their fucked up desires and when it comes to loaded Arabs their scapegoat of choice is God, but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to find out that the beliefs of extremist and other such people do not in the slightest align with the teachings of their religion.
They chop the assaulters head off that’s why
This is the problem with learning only 1 fact. You fail to realize that there are many rules that go along with that 1 rule. Men and women don’t even travel together (outside of family) in Saudi Arabia and have many other restrictions that would prevent sexual abuse.
Same with a lot of muslim countries, in pakistan for example marital rape isn’t considered rape
Hello there
What you’re talking about isn’t about r*pe
It’s about having sex outside of mirage or while being married
Like if someone wanted to charge someone who’s married that he was having sex with another women he needs to get another one with him to Witness the incident
Because it is possible that this person will ruin your reputation just by saying that, so he needs another witness. If this person accuses you and does not bring another witness with him, his testimony will not be accepted in any other court, and he will be considered a hypocrite, in order to preserve people’s reputation.
Please make sure where you get your information from. And don’t believe anything you see.
Have a good day.
It might be controvertial.
But all those arabic practices and laws should be forced to change imo.
What a load of shit ? First everyone can report and the raper willbe investigated and if it was true they would be punished by prison or lashes and in some cases death and also the crome rate isn’t that low just as everywhere else women who’s being assaulted don’t report that but it’s lower than the western countries and that’s for 2 reasons
1- the psychological barirrer which privent the rapist to do as he believes will be punished in hell for that action (in Islam everyone is responsible for his actions and there’s nothing as injustiful as the crusify for humans to do everything they want and also go to heaven ) and in the irreligious countries the rapier don’t have that barrier so they think if they could do that and no one can see them they will unfortunately do that
2- second barrier is the strickt law as the rapist could be killed or prisoned for life if he did that so most of them if they don’t care about the relegion they would care a lot about the punishment which also alot lower than that in the irreligious countries which in some cases could be just as forced therapy
So i see islam did a better job at preventing the rape from happening at the first place than any thing else on earth yet and the numbers speaks (I’m not talking about the crimes in general as it’s impossible to prevent it but also is being decreased alot )
Because they call it marriage.
Bruh it needs witnesses cuz they will be killed witch is an appropriate punishment for rape. Unlike the us witch only gives prison time 💀
Who and where said there was “2 male eyewitnesses” for a r*pe to be classified as a r*pe? Where does it say that? Source???
The ignorance here is crazy
Simply because it isn’t considered rape.
I mean, these are the same people that belive in a guy that fucked a 9 year old and had her scrape semen off his shirt.
Im not exactly surprised
