Four Muslim men from Puttalam were remanded till
November 2 by the Puttalam District Judge after they were arrested on
charges that they had lashed a woman 100 times.
The men, had imposed the Islamic Shariah law themselves against the woman, on charges that she had committed infidelity.
The men had asked the 25 year old woman to come
to a mosque in Nallandaluwa, Puttalam, and had beaten the woman, after
accusing her of having an affair with a man. Subsequent to the incident,
a complaint was lodged with the police who had then arrested the four
men, and had produced them before the district judge. According to the
Islamic Shariah Law, married men or women can be stoned to death for
having sex outside wedlock, while those who are unmarried face a
punishment of lashing. (Colombo Telegraph)
