Flogging is used in UAE as a punishment for criminal offences such as adultery, premarital sex and prostitution.[201] In most emirates, floggings of Muslims are frequent, especially for adultery, prostitution and drunkenness, with sentences ranging from 80 to 200 lashes.[202][203] Between 2007 and 2013, many people were sentenced to 100 lashes.[201][204][205][206][207][208][209][210] Moreover, in 2010 and 2012, several Muslims were sentenced to 80 lashes for alcohol consumption.[211][212] Under UAE law, premarital sex is punishable by 100 lashes.[213]
