The announcement is rather reassuring, but the reserves remain in order … On Thursday 3 November, during a press conference in Doha, Qatar, host country of the next World Cup, he declared that they will not be asked for the marital status of the women who will come to seek treatment. According to The group, the announcement was made by the voice of Youssef Al-Maslamani, the spokesperson responsible for health issues within the organizing committee. A rule that should only apply to tourists of course.
7 years’ imprisonment for sex out of wedlock
In Qatar, sex outside of marriage is prohibited and punishable by up to seven years’ imprisonment. For fans who will come to attend the World Cup from 20 November to 18 December it was therefore important to know the position of the Qatar organizing committee on the issue. “People will not be asked if they are married or not, their gender, nationality or religion. Questions will be asked about their state of health and not about their personal situation, ”said Youssef Al-Maslamani. We can still worry about potential doctors who would not appreciate the circumvention of this rule and the consequences on the reception and care of these women.
On September 29, Fifa published a regulation aimed at fans of the World Cup. The organizing committee contested the veracity of some of these rules without specifying which ones. Among these rules we find in particular the obligation for men and women to maintain a certain distance in the stadiums and to queue separately.
