True but you are still at liberty to worship at the place of your choice.
Why lash and beat women because they wore trousers?
Some laws are damn right stupid if it take away your freedom. You can't tell me that wearing trousers is a crime of any form. If they believed in it, why did they wear it then?

I remember an Alhaja. A student in my alma matter. Who covers and use veil.
Miraculously became pregnant under her veil to another student outside marriage.
I think this is more of deceit.

Re: Sudan Women Lashed For Wearing Trousers by Nobody: 11:38am On Jul 14, 2009
while i agree it is inhumane to mete such punishment to anyone for whatever reason i also believe the residents and citizens of the country ought to be aware of the laws of the land and act by it.

I'm not conversant with the laws of Sudan but if it is against the law to wear trousers then they shouldn't wear trousers

@ generalzango
How old are you, really? Read down to verse 9 where "God" also prohibited mixed cropping; and verse 11 where you are forbidden to wear clothing made of wool & linen. Verse 12 commands that you put tassels on the 4 corners of your robe. So, go figure.
Besides, since when did the bible become a code of conduct manual for civil society?

Sorry oo, am not used to engaging nigerian religious fanatics in any form of debate. Even when the truth is glaring, nothing usually comes out of it.

Do have a good day sir.

When you begin to pretend like say God told you to do it under sharia law, sharia law that; you really begin to look childish and stupid.

Sudan women 'lashed for trousers'

Several Sudanese women have been flogged as a punishment for dressing "indecently", according to a local journalist who was arrested with them.

Lubna Ahmed al-Hussein, who says she is facing 40 lashes, said she and 12 other women wearing trousers were arrested in a restaurant in the capital, Khartoum.

She told the BBC several of the women had pleaded guilty to the charges and had 10 lashes immediately.

Khartoum, unlike South Sudan, is governed by Sharia law.

Several of those punished were from the mainly Christian and animist south, Ms Hussein said.

Non-Muslims are not supposed to be subject to Islamic law, even in Khartoum and other parts of the mainly Muslim north.

She said that a group of about 20 or 30 police officers entered the popular Khartoum restaurant and arrested all the women wearing trousers.

"I was wearing trousers and a blouse and the 10 girls who were lashed were wearing like me, there was no difference," she told the BBC's Arabic service.

Ms Hussein said some women pleaded guilty to "get it over with" but others, including herself, chose to speak to their lawyers and are awaiting their fates.

Under Sharia law in Khartoum, the normal punishment for "indecent" dressing is 40 lashes.

Ms Hussein is a well-known reporter who writes a weekly column called Men Talk for Sudanese papers. She also works for the United Nations Mission in Sudan.
