The rapists received varying sentences, the harshest being five years in prison and 1,000 lashes. But the Saudi Arabia court has also sentenced this gang-rape victim for 90-lash in 2007 for violating the ban on women having contact with men who are not their relatives because as per Saudi justice syatem woman must be accompanied by a male guardian — typically relative — at all times in public.
The Saudi justice system is based on the Islamic religious legal code known as Sharia.
