A Kenyan mother in Saudi Arabia has reportedly been sentenced to 100 lashes after giving birth outside marriage.
Under the Saudi sharia law system, sex outside marriage is a criminal offence. But it is women who are disproportionately targeted, say rights groups, which have condemned the punishment as an "act of violence".
Although many unmarried women give birth in Saudi Arabia, rights groups say the Kenyan mother's case only came to light because she had been taken to a hospital, which are required to report single women giving birth to the authorities.
