Rape in Saudi Arabia is regulated by Saudi Arabia's interpretation of Sharia law, under which someone convicted of the criminal offense of rape can be sentenced to a variety of punishments, ranging from flogging to execution.[1] In 2019, eight executions took place in Saudi Arabia for rape.[2]
As of 2002, Saudi Arabia reported 0.3 rapes per 100,000 people per year.[3][4] There is no prohibition of marital rape in the country.[5]
