: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.

    • There will be specialized double sculls...just not for an NOC if it is entering singles specialists.   Either enter 2 singles specialists, or 1 XD specialist pair.   But they can in theory compete in both events, I guess, if they qualify...our top M, I think, does both.   But there are 17M, 17W, and 30 Pairs allotted in the quota, so I don't think the intent is that every singles entry will be in doubles.   (Perhaps this gets to fall in line with Weightlifting, where due to max entry quota, an NOC can't enter in every event, even if they have the best athletes...here, unless you have a pair who qualifies in both.)

    • I read the Olympic qualification documents for weightlifting. A country can have the opportunity to send a maximum of 4 athletes in one gender, but the conditions are very strict.
    • world champion Jessica Schilder opened her season up with 19.78 in France.
    • wait! what???   so, there won't be specialized double sculls, but those boats would have to feature 2 single specialists if a Nation wants to enter 2 proper singles M+W??? tell me I misread the expalaination...
    • Yeah, they do get broadcast pretty regularly.  I remember even back in Bode Miller's day they would show the training.
