:d he means 4 adult men should witness such a thing (penetration) and testify against it for that rule to be applied. and since nobody actually does that in front of 4 other people. that actually never happens.

 

here is the same in Iran, but as far as I know they never ever used that rule. for the simple reason I explained. you hear in western media about stoning someone to death and more and yeah that's within the rules but only because they are obsessed to have it but they never use it and they never want to use it. specially in the 21st century

I can imagine especially when you're as filthy rich as Brunei's sultan, and actually putting insane stuff like this into practice might make you lose your assets and investments :p 

 

By the way, specifically 4 adult men? If 3 adult men and 1 adult woman sees it, it doesn't matter? :lol:

Yes  in Islam the witness of two women is equal to the testimony of one man. so that should be 3 men and 2 women ! :d

 

they justify such "rule" by saying women are more emotional and sometimes can't be trusted in matters of death and life. :facepalm:

those created Islam million years ago ? :d  or those created the "Islamic Republic" in Iran 40 years ago ? (even though Iran was still Islamic even before that but court rules were a bit different)

 

there is a famous video of Khomeini (the founder of Islamic Republic) when he was on plane on his way back to Iran after 15 years of exile while everybody was nervous because there were rumors that Shah's air force will shoot the plane down. a foreign journalist asking him "how you feel about being back in Iran after so many years" you would expect a bit of emotion but his answer was just one word "nothing" :d the guy was emotionless :wacko:

Anyone who creates rules like "women count for less than men" and "it's ok to murder people if they have different preferences" :p

You know that was quite an upgrade at the time, before that they would bury infant girls alive in Arabian peninsula.

 

the biggest problem is still using the exact same rules right now, in a different world.

    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
