Prostitution in Saudi Arabia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prostitution in Saudi Arabia is strictly illegal.[1] Prostitution is punishable by prison and flogging,[2] unless the parties are also charged with adultery, fornication and sodomy, which can apply to both the prostitute and his/client since all sexual activity outside a lawful marriage is illegal, in which case the punishment can be death.
Prostitutes tend to be mostly from Saudi Arabia, Philippines, Indonesia, Nigeria, Ethiopia,[3] Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan, Vietnam, Kenya, Yemen, Morocco and Tajikistan.[4] Foreign prostitutes who are arrested by the Saudi vice police face deportation.[3]
