Capital punishment in infobox (again)
editI restored the infobox to previous state from this edit
I believe there is no current clear source to support the death penalty as a legal sanction: I've been searching. There were amendments to the code in 2021 and again in 2022, which seem to be aimed at world opinion, possibly ruling out the death penalty for these offences. Article 1 now says:
The provisions of the Islamic Shari'a shall apply to the retribution and blood money crimes. Other crimes and their respective punishments shall be provided for in accordance with the provisions of this Law and other applicable penal codes.
Does this mean 'definitely not'? 'Perhaps not'? 'Yes'? Who knows: I certainly don't, and neither do you unless you are an expert in UAE law or can supply an up-to-date, unambiguous, reliable source. Even before the amendments, that ILGA report [1] used to source it in the infobox [2] says any capital penalty is "theoretical", or legally unclear, and for that reason should not have appeared in the infobox, even back then: it needs context and discussion in the body. It is WP:UNDUE without that.
There is extensive discussion on this point in the talk archives, mostly in countering a block-evading sock who was determined "death" should appear there. This met with opposition even then, and that was before the penal code was changed twice; it seems a yet more tenuous penalty now. (Please don't make me go through this horror again! Only, sort of, joking.) Would appreciate it if this is not put into the box again unless there is a clear consensus to do so. AukusRuckus (talk) 08:33, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

Legal for men?
editThe law said that only a report of husband or male guardian can be processed. Does it mean it's legal for homosexual men? -GogoLion (talk) 08:59, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
