Prince Mohammad bin Abdel Aziz ordered them to be arrested shortly after the video was posted. If theyre unmarried, the couple could face some harsh charges since “the kingdom bans relationships outside of marriage, an act considered a sin under Sharia law,” Step Feed writes.
Its this kind of madness that makes me so happy I won the ovarian lottery and was born in America. Apparently, a different man and a woman were just arrested for driving in the same car together. In the same car! Can you imagine living your life that way?
Besides, on a scale of 1–10 (10 being most scandalous), this photo is mayyyybe a negative 4. There wasnt even skin-on-skin contact. He gave her a peck on the BURKA. And the whole country melted down.
Those Saudis are in for an eyeful if they ever come into contact with American culture.
