Egypt 'Wife Swap' Couple Jailed: Extra-marital Sex Animals
Egyptian News Updates
18 March 2009
BBC -- An Egyptian couple accused
of engaging in sex sessions with other couples have
been jailed by a Cairo court.
The man, a 48-year-old civil servant, was given seven
years, his 37-year-old schoolteacher wife got three
years.
The judge described the case as one of the worst
crimes committed. But the couple's lawyer said the
sentence was "very harsh" and they would appeal.
Extra-marital sex is illegal in Egypt, where the
constitution says Islamic law is the main source of
legislation.
The pair were arrested in October 2008 on prostitution
charges after they posted adverts on the internet for
couples interested in sex parties.
A long-standing law in Egypt allows people to be
prosecuted for prostitution for having extra-marital
sex even if no money changes hands.
'A little fun'
According to the court, the couple used the aliases
Magdy and Samira to organise wife-swapping parties and
orgies and admitted having sex with three other
couples.
" Even people accused of apostasy have not received
such harsh sentences " Ayman al-Saadi, couple's lawyer
However their lawyer said after the judgement that
they had only confessed to "having a little fun on the
internet, not to having sexual relations outside their
marriage."
Ayman al-Saadi told AFP news agency the sentence
passed on Saturday by a court in the suburb of Agouza
was "very harsh".
"Even people accused of apostasy have not received
such harsh sentences," he said.
According to Egyptian press reports at the time of
their arrest, the pair interviewed some 44 couples,
usually at coffee shops in central Cairo, before
swapping partners.
They were said to have turned down more than 40
couples because they were not officially married,
causing concern that they would not guarantee
confidentiality.
