Lawyer Taqi Hussein: Article 350 of the Penal Code of Decree-Law No. 15 of 1976 stipulates the penalty for any male who imitates a woman and any woman who imitates a male, and the penalty is imprisonment for a period not exceeding one year and a fine not exceeding 100 dinars for anyone who publicly commits an indecent act. The same penalty shall apply to anyone who commits an indecent act with a female, even in a non-public manner, as practicing the act of imitating the opposite sex is a criminal act and is considered an incitement to debauchery according to the text of Article 329 of the Penal Code of Decree-Law No. 15 of 1976. Anyone who publicly incites in a public place to practice debauchery or prostitution, through enticement or by calling and advertising or drawing attention by the inciter to acts of vice, shall be punished with imprisonment for a period not exceeding two years. Accordingly, based on what was mentioned, the act intended to be criminalized is considered included in what was mentioned in the Penal Code, especially since the intent of the legislator in incitement to debauchery is merely calling or drawing attention Considering this, because it is a crime of assault on public decency, it is achieved by simply committing actions or expressing statements that aim in themselves to alert the mind to the fact that there is a person ready to commit immorality in the public road, whether it is from males or females.]

Bahrain's penal code criminalizes adultery and sexual relations outside marriage, a violation of the right to privacy, which disproportionately harms women and migrant women. Although no law explicitly criminalizes same-sex relations, authorities have used vague penal code provisions against 'indecency' and 'immorality' to target sexual and gender minorities. There is no law that prohibits discrimination on the grounds of gender identity or sexual orientation.

When the Ayah in Surat Al-Baqarah was revealed prescribing the `Iddah of divorce, some people in Al-Madinah said, `There are still some women whose `Iddah has not been mentioned in the Qur'an. There are the young, the old whose menstruation is discontinued, and the pregnant.' Later on, this Ayah was revealed, وَاللاَّئِى يَئِسْنَ مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ مِن نِّسَآئِكُمْ إِنِ ارْتَبْتُمْ فَعِدَّتُهُنَّ ثَلَـثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَاللَّـتِي لَمْ يَحِضْنَ (Those in menopause among your women, for them the `Iddah, if you have doubt, is three months; and for those who have no courses.)” Tafsir Ibn Kathir 65:4

Lawyer Taqi Hussein: Article 350 of the Penal Code of Decree-Law No. 15 of 1976 stipulates the penalty for any male who imitates a woman and any woman who imitates a male, and the penalty is imprisonment for a period not exceeding one year and a fine not exceeding 100 dinars for anyone who publicly commits an indecent act. The same penalty shall apply to anyone who commits an indecent act with a female, even in a non-public manner, as practicing the act of imitating the opposite sex is a criminal act and is considered an incitement to debauchery according to the text of Article 329 of the Penal Code of Decree-Law No. 15 of 1976. Anyone who publicly incites in a public place to practice debauchery or prostitution, through enticement or by calling and advertising or drawing attention by the inciter to acts of vice, shall be punished with imprisonment for a period not exceeding two years. Accordingly, based on what was mentioned, the act intended to be criminalized is considered included in what was mentioned in the Penal Code, especially since the intent of the legislator in incitement to debauchery is merely calling or drawing attention Considering this, because it is a crime of assault on public decency, it is achieved by simply committing actions or expressing statements that aim in themselves to alert the mind to the fact that there is a person ready to commit immorality in the public road, whether it is from males or females.]

Mr Al Alawi said that 'As for the question that has been raised in the Press about the so-called problem of lesbianism, as a ministry we cannot talk about a widespread phenomenon and we can't call them lesbians. The problems that the students are facing are put into the category of educational problems, not immoral acts. If a student's appearance is contrary to custom and the school's values, then the only thing we can say is that those violating the school's rules should be disciplined.' (in English)
