TEL AVIV – In a New York bar, men and women might exaggerate their biographies in the pursuit of the opposite sex. But here in the Holy Land, deceiving your partner can have serious consequences.
The Jerusalem District Court ruled this week on the fine points of what a man must tell a woman before they engage in sexual relations, convicting an Arab man of "rape by deception" for lying to a Jewish woman to get her to sleep with him.
Two years ago, 30-year-old Sabbar Kashur met a woman in the city of Jerusalem and introduced himself as a Jewish bachelor seeking a serious relationship. Shortly after meeting the woman, the two had consensual sex.
But later, when the Jewish woman found out that Kashur was not a fellow Jew, she filed a police complaint alleging rape and indecent assault. (The misrepresentation went further – he was not a bachelor either, but rather a married father of two daughters).
