Two foreigners caught French kissing in Dubai have been given six-month jail terms suspended for three years under condition they not do it again, a local newspaper reported yesterday.
| Gawd! Tongues and everything! |
The Dubai Court of First Instance found a 26-year-old Australian, and 26-year-old German woman guilty of kissing in public. Names of the couple were not provided. They also were fined 1,000 dirhams ($365) each for being under the influence of alcohol. Dubai is the commercial hub and the most permissive emirate in the UAE. Nonetheless, alcohol consumption is strictly controlled and public displays of sexuality forbidden.
