Four men who gang-raped a woman in front of her husband and daughter, has been disgraced after a Saudi Arabian court ordered that the four men be given 7,000 lashes and 52 years in prison for the horrible offense. 

 

Dailymail gathered that Jeddah court determined that one of the accused will be given 2,500 lashes in 50 sessions and will be jailed for 17 years while two of his accomplices will be given 1,500 lashes each and were jailed for 15 years.

 

On the other hand, the fourth accused was sentenced to only five years in prison with 1,500 lashes.

 

Explaining how the incident happened, police officials said that the accused broke into the victim's home in Jeddah, tied up her husband with an electric wire and attacked the woman. They stripped her in front of her husband and their young daughter and r*ped her.

 

Then, they went ahead to steal 10,000 riyals and eight mobile phones before fleeing - only to return after sometime and rape the woman again at knifepoint.

 

After the incident, the victims complained to authorities. People had demanded that the suspects be executed instead of being granted a prison sentence because of the severity of the case. 

 

Saudi Arabia, a leading Arab ally of the United States and the birthplace of Islam, follows the strict Wahhabi Sunni Muslim school and gives the clergy control over its justice system.
