#33how they can know? besides forbidding dating apps i don't think police officers will sit in the bars to make sure no one is going home with someone they just met. though the rules there are quite strict due to the fact this is islamic state
lol. You’re assuming they’ll enforce the law truthfully (however stupid the law itself is). If they arrest some foreigners at random, claiming they broke some law, what are you going to do? Maybe they’ll think twice about messing with Americans or some other powerful country’s citizens, but what about other less powerful countries?
Even if you do get the case thrown out, do you really wanna go through the Qatari legal system? Get harassed by sexually repressed cops, especially if you are a woman?
The most sensible thing to do is stay home and watch the games on TV. It is not worth going to fucked up places just to watch soccer, imho.

#34Interesting that with something as big as football, the organisers can get away with a lot of bad taste decisions. They can host wherever they want and they will be guaranteed a sufficient turnout thanks to the absolute massiveness of the fanbase. Woman's rights or workers rights in a faraway country? Fat load of nothing issues for many who want to see their country in the semis.

> how they can know? This reminds me of the American boy who stole a poster in North Korea, after which he was imprisoned and presumably tortured for 15 months, and died a week after returning home, after having been in a coma for a year: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-40335169 I could fear a few football fans are going to end up in the Qatari prison system because they don't understand that the consequence…
A 22 year old is a boy now?
I think so.

#37it's disgusting to organize public, worldwide events in barbaric countries.
Interesting interview on the radio here in the UK a few weeks ago with a famous climber who went to Saudi Arabia I think to compete after much moral deliberation. He did say that every native he spoke to was very grateful for his attendance, people travelling and participating in these sorts of events is an effective way to bring change and open peoples eyes, mainly through his insistence there were female climbers competing also which wasn't in the original plan.
I'm in two minds about his story, it was a much smaller scale event and sounded well run. This World Cup though sounds flat out awful, mainly due to the throwaway slave labour in building the infrastructure and the rampant corruption from both sides. If the infrastructure wasn't built with slave labour, and if the country won the right to host fairly maybe I'd be OK with it.

#39The title downplays this a lot. The first sentence in the article reads "Any extramarital sexual encounter (...) could result in a seven-year jail sentence." That usually means any sexual relation outside of marriage is forbidden, even between life partners.
I wonder how they would verify that with foreigners, especially those with a history of poor record-keeping. I surmise that there must be at least a couple of countries where a marriage certificate is nothing more than a plain sheet of copy paper with something along the lines of "I hereby declare that X and Y are married" in their local legalese.
Although I can't help but snicker at the image of a bunch of poor cops desperately trying to memorize marriage certificates from around the world.

#40Adultery is also illegal in Dubai, yet it doesn't stop all the Emirati (plenty from Qatar and Saudi Arabia as well) to go have sex with white prostitutes in the so called biggest "yatching" hub in the world... the hypocrisy of these countries...
