A Saudi court sentenced a woman to 50 lashes for swearing at her
friend, an Arabic newspaper reported on Monday.
The two Saudi women, aged 33 and 31 years, reportedly decided to go
out with their children for a weekend night but disagreed on where to
go.
“An argument ensued and the two women decided to split … one of them
later sent a text to her friend’s mobile phone swearing at her,” the
Arabic language quotidian Kabar reported.
“The other woman went to court and showed the judge the message …
although that woman said she was joking, the court ordered her lashed
50 times.”
