Almost 150 women living in the Maldives face a public flogging for indulging 
  in extra-marital sex after being convicted by the Muslim country's 
  conservative courts. Around 50 men also face the punishment.

Earlier this month, an 18-year-old woman fainted after she was flogged 100 
  times having been found guilty of having sex with two different men. The 
  woman, who was pregnant at the time of sentencing, had her punishment 
  deferred until after the birth of her child and the court said the 
  teenager's pregnancy was proof of her guilt. In contrast, the accused men 
  were acquitted, with one of them escaping punishment simply because he 
  denied the charge.
