What a question to ask!!!

You are pregnant, have been in Oman for 8 Months and you want to go to Jail. Is that a serious question?!

Hi Fantasticlady,

The reason for your panic is quite obvious.

You are pregnant out of wedlock.

And yes, it is not taken too kindly in this Islamic country.

Ensure that the person who is responsible for putting you in this fix stays with you - whether he is a local or an expatriate.

Try and figure a way out - together. Do not even attempt to tackle this issue all by yourself, since you simply do not have a case.

Gettig married to your partner will be the simplest solution, if you can manage that.

Hi Jhesslyn,

I have written to you in private since this is a very personal issue which does not require public participation.

Just want to ask on behalf of my acquaintance.

Pregnant out of wedlock - is it safe to go for checkups in clinics or hospitals. Are they not going to require any proof of marriage?

What  this  crime  called  in  Omani  law?


This crime came under the name of (female intercourse with her consent without a marriage contract), as part of the crimes on offer in the Omani Penal Code promulgated by Royal Decree No. 7/2018. Article 259 of the Code stipulates: (6 months and not more than (3) three years each of the reality of female consent without having a marriage contract and the female shall be punished with the same penalty and each penalty of not less than (2) years if one of them is married and presumed knowledge of the marital unless proven otherwise) . The Omani lawmaker did not differentiate between men and women who committed the crime, as the punishment was extended to both sexes,
