If I had been from a third world country I think I would have been a gonner.Letting the govt. do all of your thinking, by way of enforcing laws is a very dangerous concept. Especially when you consider that what the intent of the law was and how it's written and enforced are more often than not two completely different things.
So if you let the government interfere in any aspect of your personal life, there is no stopping where that can lead to. I know it seems unbelievable, but if you have a boyfriend in these Sharia countries you are seen as a prostitute. No government has the right to interfere in anyone's personal business.
