I get the extramarital sex charge from their culture viewpoint (not defending it!) but this??? "and for drinking alcohol without permission."

Permission from whom? She's twenty-four.

It's law in the middle east because of their religion to have the right kinds of papers to purchase alcohol. I suppose in a private residence it would be okay, but it's seriously controlled.

It would be nice if Muslim men LEARNED ABOUT THEIR OWN GODDAMN LAWS AND FOLLOWED THEM instead of being sexist, misogynistic shits.
