'Barbaric to the core': Brunei brings in gay sex stoning law
Quote:
The tiny, Muslim-majority kingdom in 2013 became the first East Asian country to adopt Sharia law at a national level and it introduced the legislation and associated penalties in stages, with the new measures set to begin Wednesday, April 3.
Under stages two and three of the penal code, sex between two men and adultery both carry a punishment of stoning to death, while sex between two women is punishable with 100 lashes.
The law also introduces harsh penalties such as amputation of limbs for stealing, and imprisonment for dressing as someone of a different gender.
Under the new laws, if a woman has an abortion, she could face 15 years in prison. Similarly, pregnancy out of wedlock is punishable by up to two years in prison.
The penalties also differ depending on whether the accused is a Muslim, married and the level of evidence. A Muslim who declares themselves a non-Muslim, a god, or who mocks the Quran could also receive the death penalty. By contrast, sexual intercourse with a dead person or an animal carries a maximum 10 year prison sentence.
