Rape in Saudi Arabia

Rape in Saudi Arabia is regulated by Sharia law, which is the basis for the legal system of Saudi Arabia. Under Sharia law, the punishment which a court can impose on the rapist may range from flogging to execution. However, there is no penal code in Saudi Arabia and there is no written law which specifically criminalizes rape or prescribes its punishment. In addition, there is no prohibition of marital rape.If the rape victim first entered the rapist's company in violation of purdah, she also stands to be punished by the law's current holdings.
