@pulpitopla1997 Your sources raise legitimate concerns about barriers to reporting rape in Saudi Arabia, and I acknowledge that. But none of the sources I’ve verified establishes that Saudi underreporting is higher than Argentina’s. That’s the specific comparative claim I asked you to prove.
@S1brand_19@juliaeffer55149@a_a1655 Your own Argentine report says rape victims avoid reporting due to shame, social stigma, fear of disbelief, and distrust of authorities. So fear of reporting exists in Argentina too. Where’s your comparative evidence that underreporting is higher in Saudi Arabia?
@S1brand_19@juliaeffer55149@a_a1655 Did you read the whole report? It explicitly says it’s difficult to determine whether rising figures reflect more actual crimes or more reporting. It also acknowledges underreporting. And where’s your evidence that no similar cultural change has occurred in Saudi Arabia?
@agusto0o0 Argentina only explicitly recognized digital violence against women in its national gender-violence law in 2023 (Law 27,736). Does that mean Argentine women had no rights before then? Legal reforms are progress, not something to mock.
@pulpitopla1997 I never denied your statistics are real. I questioned whether they capture unreported crimes. Your own Argentine research confirms they don’t. You also never proved that Saudi Arabia has higher underreporting. Repeating your claim and insulting me isn’t evidence.
@pulpitopla1997 You keep claiming Saudi crime figures are low because victims don’t report. That’s a hypothesis, not an established fact. Where is your comparative evidence showing Saudi Arabia has a higher underreporting rate than Argentina?
@pulpitopla1997 Statistics exist because SOME victims report, not because ALL victims report. Your own country’s research explicitly acknowledges underreporting. That’s the distinction you keep ignoring.
@pulpitopla1997 You’re confusing accurate records with complete crime statistics. Even Argentina’s own research acknowledges widespread underreporting of sexual violence due to fear, shame and distrust. Official institutions can accurately count reports without capturing every actual crime.
@pulpitopla1997 I never said sole custody is inherently discriminatory. My point is that equal parental rights don’t mean identical arrangements in every case. Article 641 of your own Civil Code allows one parent to exercise parental responsibility alone. Address the distinction, not a straw man
@pulpitopla1997 I understand the distinction. But Article 641(b) of your own Civil Code allows parental responsibility to be exercised by only one parent, not merely sole physical care under Article 653. Can you address the actual legal text instead of resorting to insults?
@pulpitopla1997 Your own Argentine report admits sexual violence is severely underreported due to fear, shame, stigma, and distrust of authorities. It also says recorded increases may reflect more reporting, not more crime. So why treat Argentina’s official figures as the full reality?
@pulpitopla1997 You’re presenting assumptions as legal facts. Reporting abuse doesn’t automatically cost a Saudi woman her home or children, and failure to prove an assault doesn’t automatically make her a criminal. Cite the laws establishing these consequences.
@pulpitopla1997 Your own Civil Code, Article 653, allows sole custody in exceptional cases. So even Argentina doesn’t guarantee equal custody in every case. Why criticize Saudi Arabia for distinguishing parental roles when your own system also distinguishes them?
@pulpitopla1997 You’re oversimplifying Saudi family law. Custody and guardianship are distinct legal concepts, and custody decisions prioritize the child’s best interests. Article 127 of Saudi Personal Status Law explicitly recognizes the mother’s priority in custody after separation.
@pulpitopla1997 You’re shifting the topic again. Saudi law recognizes mothers’ custody rights and prioritizes the child’s best interests. Different parental responsibilities do not automatically mean a lack of protection. What specific Saudi legal provision are you challenging?
@pulpitopla1997 You’re confusing sexual assault with consensual acts. A male victim does not automatically become a criminal simply because he cannot prove the assault. What specific Saudi law supports your claim? Cite the legal provision instead of making assumptions.
@pulpitopla1997 You’re confusing Khul’ with judicial annulment (Faskh). Under Saudi law, a woman can seek annulment due to proven harm without paying compensation. Not every separation requires returning the dowry. Please distinguish between these legal procedures.
@pulpitopla1997 Argentina also has spousal maintenance laws under Articles 432–434. Have you considered how those rules compare with Saudi law before criticizing it?
@pulpitopla1997 You ignored Article 55 of Saudi Personal Status Law. Maintenance is lost only when a wife leaves without a legitimate excuse. Escaping abuse can constitute a valid excuse.
