Malaysia Boleh: abang convicted by Sharia court inTerengganu, flogged in mosque for crime of gender mixing

[duluxe]

A man was given six lashes in a mosque in Malaysia after being convicted by a Sharia court for spending time alone with a woman who was neither his wife or relative.

The 42-year-old construction worker was given six lashes in Malaysia's conservative state of Terengganu after being convicted by a Sharia court, the official Bernama news agency said.

It was the first instance of a Sharia court-ordered whipping taking place outside of a court setting in Malaysia according to the agency.

An AFP journalist saw the man delivered to the mosque in a prison van after Friday prayers, wearing an orange inmate's jumpsuit as he entered before a hushed crowd.

The caning in punishment for the Islamic crime known as "khalwat" took place inside the mosque after an audience of around 90 people was admitted.

Earlier this week the Malaysian Bar association of lawyers said it had "profound concern" over the decision to flog the man.

"Such punishments strip individuals of their dignity," a statement said.

But Spectator Mohd Sabri Muhammad said he hoped the it would deter those "tempted to commit immoral acts".

"Valentine's Day, New Year's, there are many opportunities for young people to engage in inappropriate behavior," the 37-year-old told AFP.

Multi-ethnic Malaysia has a dual-track legal system, with Islamic courts handling some matters for Muslim citizens.

Caning typically takes place on a fully-clothed person and critics say it aims to humiliate as well as physically punish the recipient.

Sharia court-ordered caning is rare but not uncommon in Malaysia.

Two women convicted of violating religious laws by having sexual relations were caned in front of more than 100 spectators in an Islamic court in 2018.

The Human Rights Commission of Malaysia said last week that "punishments that inflict physical violence and public humiliation have no place in a modern justice system".

"spending time alone with a woman who was neither his wife or relative."

Merely talking, or having a discussion is a crime? Report didn't say they were doing monkey business.

Yep. That is the best it is.

Most likely she is not s Muslim

The malay neighbours probably report this intimacy( although no sex act was involved) hence reason why nowadays modern malays prefer not to stay in malay neighbourhood.

Must be very tough being a muslim. Kena forced to pray five times a day, not allowed to eat delicious pork/frogs, drink booze, and have this khalwat thing to contend with. Why do people still want to be part of this religion?

It's like a life long prison sentence. I keep telling Muslims that there was no religion to begin with. They created religion later to control the masses.

Thats what the devil want you to believe. He will try many ways to lead children of Adam to astray, to believe anything except Allah.

Btw punishment for kalwat is not mention in Quran/Hadiths. Having said the State or country has the right to implement any laws. Msians have many choices. Can shift to other states or migrate to Peasant land aka spore
