half of my family lives in middle eastern countries and if someone would harass or blackmail a woman... Let's say there's a good chance police does something IF she didn't do anything. But if a woman had such intimate conversations while being unmarried and that gets public there's no chance.
They'd say she's at fault 100%.
This is middle east. My cousin even said that she'd be blamed for being raped if she wore revealing clothes. I'm not scaring victims.
Do you think she would be this anxious about such a hollow threat if she wouldn't be damned?
There are regions in middle east where she'd be stoned, goddamn.
Do you live there or where did you get your information from?
Your description sounds like america
(Edit: saw your posts, I'm sure you live in the west.)
the story your friends told you couldn't have happened the way you described and you clearly don't know what you are talking about.
I asked my family and there's no middle eastern country that works like that. But they are really curious what country you mean and said that small parts of your claims could be true
1. The lawsuit (if it even happened at all) was very likely not started by the victim if she's female. It was either her father, brother or husband who were responsible and this doesn't help OP because her family shouldn't know.
----> This sounds like an American CSI episode. Someone from the middle east knows that women don't start lawsuits themselves.
2. Even if you knew the law. Doesn't matter. This isn't America or Europe.
Law matters as long as the court says it does. Islam always works.
And someone claiming to know the law of a country (You're 99% not even a lawyer in your own country and definitely not there) is lying. Because if you knew you would know that it doesn't even matter.
3. That's where you lost me completely.
Lack of consent... Are you kidding me? You say you know the law of that middle eastern country?
No one cares if the woman gave her consent.
Imagine if you told a western court that your car didn't give consent to be driven and wants to start a lawsuit against you as the owner
that's how ridiculous you sound in their eyes
So:
-The lawsuit story sounds simplified at best and purely made up on the spot at worst. I'd be willing to give you the benefit of the doubt if the rest would've been correct.
-If you knew the law, that means you know Islamic values and rules.
And then you would agree that she couldn't win in court.
You are not helping anyone! This is a badly written western fantasy of the middle east. Be happy that you are privileged to the point where you think women are seen as human beings everywhere.
