Married Couple in Dubai Win Appeal After Arrest for Having Sex in Car

A newly married Pakistani couple in Dubai won an appeal to overturn their conviction after police arrested them for having sex in their car. The problem was that the car windows were black-out and police had to knock repeatedly to get the couple to roll down the window.

The appellate court ruled that the police violated the couple’s privacy by peering through the window. When the man finally rolled down the window, he was naked. It was a good thing they were married. Other foreigners have not fared as well in the country which applies a Sharia-based morality code (here and here and here).
