The lesbian couple declared their love by escaping from the death penalty

Saudi Arabian gay couple fled their country and settled in the UK. The couple told about their escape and their difficulties on a TV channel.

In Saudi Arabia, where women had newer rights, two gay couples had to flee their country. Two young women, currently living in London, the capital of England, had long hidden their relations in their country, Saudi Arabia.

 Because according to the sharia law in Saudi Arabia, even the romantic relationship of two people of the same sex can be punished with death. The couple, who did not reveal their real names because they were afraid to be found, says that now they are free to love each other and are very happy.

 The couple who hosted the special part of the television show Jaafar Talk, broadcast in Arabic on channel DW, on Valentine’s Day on February 14 gave an intimate interview.

Describing their sexual orientation during their adolescence in a friendly language, the couple managed to keep their relationship secret until Nanz’s family began to be suspicious.

The couple said they left their country in August 2018 when travel restrictions for women in Saudi Arabia were lifted and asylum was granted asylum from England.
