Ridiculous!
COURIERMAIL.COM.AU: A BRITISH mother of two is being held in jail after being found guilty of adultery - for having a cup of tea with a male friend.

Marnie Pearce, 40, had separated from her Egyptian husband Ihab El-Labban when he burst into her Dubai home and found her drinking tea with another man.

Mr El-Labban now has custody of their two children - Ziad, 4, and Laith, 7 - and former classroom assistant Ms Pearce fears she may never see them again because she will be deported as soon as she is released.

Amnesty International says Ms Pearce, who has lived in Dubai for 15 years, is "a prisoner of conscience".

Mr El-Labban made the claim of adultery - which is a crime in the strict Muslim country - during a custody battle over the boys. Marnie Pearce, Mother of Two, Jailed over a Cup of Tea >>> | Friday, March 13, 2009

Dubai: Marnie Pearce Hands Herself In
MAIL ON SUNDAY: A British mother who was on the run in Dubai after being found guilty of adultery has been jailed after handing herself into police.

Teaching assistant Marnie Pearce now faces the prospect of never seeing her two young children again.

Marnie, 40, originally from Bracknell in Berkshire, insists she never cheated on her ex-husband Ihab El-Labban and has been framed so he could win custody of their sons Laith, seven, and Ziad, four.

Once she has served her three-month sentence, Marnie is set to be deported to the UK without her children. Dubai 'Adultery Case' Wife Hands Herself in to Spare Children >>> Mail On Sunday Reporter | Sunday, February 22, 2009
