Local Doha News from the Gulf Times

A Doha court sent a Turkish national, accused of having illicit relations with an Indonesian housemaid, to jail until a final verdict in the case is given. The Muslim man initially confessed to the charge but retracted his statement after he learnt that the penalty for such an offence was stoning to death according to the Shariah. The woman, also a Muslim, denied the charge and claimed she was not married.
