Quote: Couple jailed for sex in mosque 09/10/2006 15:37 - (SA) Bush sends Ramadam greetings Hotels told to obey Ramadan laws Fears as Ramadan approaches Ramadan 'causes conflict' Naivasha - A couple found having sex in a mosque during the holy Islamic month of Ramadan was sentenced by a Kenyan court to 18 months in prison.
The pair, Peter Kimani and Jennifer Wairimu, were discovered in flagrant delicto on October 03 by a worshipper who investigated the strange noises he heard emanating from a dark corner in Abubakar Mosque in Gilgil, 100km northwest of Nairobi.
During Ramadan, one of the five pillars of Islam, Muslims were expressly forbidden to eat, drink, smoke or engage in sexual intercourse during the daylight hours for the length of the 30-day fast.
Kimani pleaded for mercy, saying that he was drunk and thought that he was in a hotel while his partner Wairimu admitted she had been too drunk to know what was going on.
But, Naivasha senior magistrate John King'ori dismissed the pair's plea for leniency, calling their behaviour "abominable".
He said: "Having sex in a mosque is a most abominable thing to religion."
The Islamic faith strictly forbidden Muslims from entering a mosque without thoroughly washing themselves after sexual relations.
The couple had 14 days to appeal the verdict before they were to begin serving their sentences
