I was checking this list of “20 Things You Never Knew You Could Be Arrested For While Abroad” and spotted Lebanon on the list. Here’s what they said about us:
If you’re a guy, sure you’re allowed to have sex with an animal, provided it’s a female one. Any other combinations of genders (man-on-male-animal, woman-on-any-kind-of-animal) will land you in the slammer.
From what I know, Article 534 of the Lebanese Penal Code prohibits engaging in sexual relations that contradict the laws of nature (which include at the moment homosexual relationships). It’s a vague law but I don’t think it allows a man to have sex with a female animal only. In fact, I don’t think we ever had such a case in Lebanon or at least none that I heard of.
Hey Najib,
I have read this law before but it belongs to the city of Lebanon in Pennsylvania, U.S.A. It was probably an honest mistake by the post writer.
Btw, you did know there was a Lebanon in the U.S.A. right? 😀
Hussain,
Of course I know there are many Lebanon areas in the US not just one but I don’t think it was a mistake as there’s a picture from Lebanon.
Najib,
The blogger could’ve simply searched for Lebanon on google maps and found a good picture of Lebanon so added it. Love you blog btw !!
