AN Egyptian woman (19) threw herself from the fourth floor of a Cairo building rather than face scandal arising from her being discovered in her boyfriend’s apartment, the daily al-Ahram said Thursday. The young girl was with her 22-year-old boyfriend, a student and computer salesman, in his house in the main Sunni Muslim neighbourhood of al-Azhar, when neighbours guessed she was there and started banging loudly on the door to make her leave the premises, the paper said. Panic-stricken, the young girl hurled herself through the window but survived the fall, and passers-by took her to hospital, the paper said. Free sexual relations are not allowed by Islam. – AFP
