- Status is not correct " LGBT activities are illegal in the UAE. Punishments (under sharia law) include death, life in prison, floggings, fines, deportation, chemical castration, forced psychological treatments, honor killings, beatings, forced anal examinations, forced hormone injections, and torture. Anti-gay attacks and vigilante executions happen all the time and police will turn a blind eye, join in on the violence, or be complicit. No businesses are LGBT friendly and police will not hesitate to arrest anyone accused of LGBT behavior."
- Status is not correct "Article (354) Without prejudice to the provisions of the Law on Juvenile Delinquents and Homeless, whoever uses coercion in having sexual intercourse with a female or sodomy with a male shall be sentenced to capital punishment. Coercion shall be considered as evident if the victim is below fourteen years of age at the time when the crime occurs, or if the victim is of no free will due to young age, lunacy, or insanity.
The operative word is coercion. "
