Some religious laws are really stupid in some countries.
Read this article about a 16 old girl who was lashed and pulled along in the market as if she were a criminal in Khartum.
Another case is with the Nigerian football star who was sentenced to 40 lashes after being wrongly convicted of drunk driving.

What is your opinion on these laws.
Do you think that these kind of punishment will ever stop?
Do you have friends or relatives - those of you who live in these countries - who faced such sentences?

Wow, 50 lashes for a knee length skirt?!? A bit extreme, but Sudan isn't in the top 10 countries for human rights exactly.
