17 April 2007 :
a Pakistani man faces death by stoning in the United Arab Emirates for committing adultery with four of his stepdaughters, a local newspaper reported. In the first case of its kind in the UAE, the federal supreme court confirmed the death sentence issued by an Islamic sharia court in the emirate of Ajman. Police arrested the man, identified as Abdul Aziz, in 2005. Aziz, who has 11 children with his four stepdaughters, admitted his guilt but said he was not the father of all of the children. The stepdaughters received 80 lashes each.(Sources: The Guardian, 14/04/2007)
