Couple 'detained in UAE for sex outside marriage'

A South African man and his Ukrainian fiancee have been detained in the United Arab Emirates for unlawful sex, a relative says.

Emlyn Culverwell‚ 29, and Iryna Nohai, 27, were reportedly arrested after a doctor discovered Ms Nohai, who had stomach cramps, was pregnant.

They were arrested for sex outside of marriage, which is illegal in the UAE.

Mr Culverwell's mother has pleaded for their release, saying "the only thing they did wrong was fall in love".

South Africa's foreign ministry has said that it is not able to help the couple as this is a matter of domestic UAE law, News24 reports.

The South African government has advised the couple to get legal assistance, the BBC's Pumza Fihlani in Johannesburg says.

There was no immediate comment from the UAE government.

Mr Culverwell and Ms Nohai have reportedly been held since January, but news of their detention has only emerged now.

Mr Culverwell has been working in the UAE for the past five years.

His mother Linda told News24 that the family is "trying to get messages to the two to say we love them and that they shouldn't be worried".

The couple have not yet been charged as the authorities are still carrying out tests, Mrs Culverwell added.
If found guilty, they could face a long jail sentence.

And people wonder why Americans are concerned about the spread of Muslim culture...a pregnant woman turned in to the police by her own doctor.

Well they are pretty retarded. Nothing of value was lost.

The UAE is more backwards in than even other Middle Eastern countries as it is one of the few places in which slavery is de facto legal. It is not somewhere I would go willingly.

The Muslim world is rife with old school slavery and slave auctions. It exists in other places too. Wish there were more focus on Civil Rights around the world. Ugly shit.

We don't focus enough on civil rights violations in the United States, let alone the world. And if we wanted to talk civil rights violations, what has been happening in the Congo for generations, and the Saudi's destruction of Yemen, which includes a nationwide famine is just a good start.

We are too busy worrying about who is baking a cake for whom, and which shitter to use. We are a Civil Rights Utopia compared to how people in the Congo and Yemen live.
