In a follow on to an earlier post which discusses Dubai, a British couple got a jail sentence for having sex on the beach. The issue was not just that it was public, but they were unmarried. They got 3 months each.
From the LA times :
Vince Acors and Michelle Palmer, who had been accused of being drunk and having sex on the beach, were each sentenced to serve time, fined $272 for drinking alcohol in public and ordered to be deported immediately upon leaving prison. The pair were charged with having unmarried sex after a taxi picked them up from a champagne brunch at a five-star hotel and drove them to Jumeirah Beach in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates' most culturally tolerant emirate.What happens in Dubai, stays in Dubai. At least for 3 months that is.
