Even if you feel that whipping is a legitimate form of punishment, 74 lashes is such a crazy number. Like I'm not sure she'll be conscious for the last of it.

At that point it's not even about punishment of the person, this is just straight up making an example.

Yeah, for sure. About wearing a friggen piece of cloth.

Depending on how it's done, that could easily be fatal.

Yeah, Singapore limits it to 24 total, and most people only get 3, 6 tops.

[-] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 6 points 9 hours ago

Yeah, I'd only ever heard of people getting at most 8 or 10 anywhere. This seems insanely excessive.
