it's disgusting to organize public, worldwide events in barbaric countries.
Is "World Cup" public? I assume this is an event organised by private (for-profit) entity (FIFA).

#12how 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
Ready to risk 7 years jail?

#13The 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.

> 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 consequences of their actions are different than in their home country. After all, how can they know?

#18"public displays of affection are frowned upon regardless of sexual orientation" That, I agree with.
I was about to downvote you, but I'll bite. Why do you think this?

Don't worry, drinking and partying is outlawed too. And they will absolutely check. Can't provide proof of marriage? Straight to jail it is!
Doha has areas set aside for drinking, bars, etc.
They don’t enforce rules about sex between tourists / western expats unless someone involved brings it directly to law enforcements attention and asks for their intervention.
Don’t let anyone know you’re gay or the victim of sexual assault. But consenting sex between two middle class non-Muslims behind closed doors is a complete non issue.
