Riyadh, December 01: A teenaged Saudi boy and his girlfriend thought of a novel way to date each other away from the eyes of the country’s feared religious police so they thought of the lifeless desert. But the couple, both 18, had apparently not given any thought to the camel shepherd who appeared to be not bothered by them.
On the third day of their meeting, the couple had their first visitors — members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice.
“The commission’s members were informed about the meetings by the shepherd. They arrested the two for illegitimate meetings,” Sabq daily said.
