#10 Marte Deborah DalelvAlleged Rape = Jail Time
Rape victims are normally seen as just that; a victim, but in Dubai you're viewed as a criminal. Earlier this year, a Norwegian woman named Marte Deborah Dalelv, 25, was sentenced to 16 months in prison in Dubai for perjury, consensual extramarital sex and alcohol consumption, after reporting an alleged rape to police. The woman had a few drinks with co-workers one night and claims the man who was supposed to help her back to her room raped her. She was held in jail for three days after filing the complaint and was informed to retract her statement to make things 'easier' for her. When the case went to court, the woman went back to original claim that she was raped. Dalelv appealed the conviction and had a hearing set for this month, but she was pardoned in July, after her case caught international media attention. The mere fact that a rape victim winded up in jail is truly disgusting.
