    Stay Out of Dubai

    An Indian couple have been sentenced to jail after sending erotic text messages in the city of Dubai.

    According to the conviction, the couple planned to "commit sin" (or have an extramarital affair), which is against the law in the United Arab Emirates.

    The pair, who worked as cabin crew for Emirates airlines, each were sentenced to three months in jail, said authorities. Court documents only gave their initials and their ages: 42 for her and 47 for him.

    The text messages surfaced in a divorce lawsuit by the woman's estranged husband.

    A court in December sentenced the Indian couple to six months in jail followed by deportation, but an appeals court reduced the jail time and gave them the option to remain in the country.

    Here are a few more of the crazy sentences handed down:

    A British couple were sentenced to one month in jail sentence after kissing passionately in a restaurent.

    In 2008, two Britons were sentenced to three months in jail for what authorities described as sex on the beach. The sentences were later suspended.

    Talk about crazy!

    No its not crazy at all.

    A person needs to follow the rules of the country he/she lives in. Just like a woman would be fined or jailed in certain European countries because of ban on "hijjab or burqa". That ban is termed as "crazy" by Muslims around the world (2nd in world population wise and ever growing). In fact, Dubai is much liberal as compared to Saudi Arabia, Iran, Indonesia or Pakistan.

    On another note, why wouldn't the couple use their hotel room instead of having it openly like animals.

    Regards,
    When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.

    I agree that you should always follow the laws of the country you're in. It is, however, a shame that certain nations seem lost back in the stone age. I doubt their economy is going to suffer for it, but I, for one, will be staying out of Dubai.
