 "Boys and girls crossed all boundaries for the first time, what did they do to become jail?")
Hormones are very difficult to control during puberty. In such a situation, boys and girls of this age cross all boundaries by falling in love. One such news has come from Dubai. Where an 18-year-old boy crosses all boundaries in love with a 17-year-old girl proves to be costly. In fact, 18-year-old Marcus Fakana is facing a year in jail for these actions.
According to a CNN report, Marks, who is from London, came to Dubai for a vacation with his family in September. Where he met a fellow British girl at his hotel and the two began a romantic relationship that turned into a physical relationship. The two planned to continue their budding relationship in London. But when the 17-year-old girl returned to the United Kingdom, her mother came to know about the affair and lodged a complaint against Faqana with the Dubai Police.
Fakana was later arrested in Dubai. Fakana said it was very painful. I was picked up from the hotel for no reason. I was not allowed to invite anyone including my parents. Everything was in Arabic and I didn’t know when I would come out. I was not allowed to see a lawyer, the embassy or my parents.
Why did Fakana go to jail?
In the United Arab Emirates – of which Dubai is the largest city – the age of consent is 18. Due to this, when Fakana had physical relations with the girl, she was a minor in Dubai. “I had no intention of breaking the law, I didn’t even know she was a month away from turning 18,” Fakana said.
The youth further said that he was sorry for breaking the law. But he is appealing for Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the prime minister of the conservative monarchy and ruler of Dubai, to overturn the one-year prison sentence handed down last week so he can go home to his family for Christmas.
