From reading the DM article it's apparent the jury were not convinced of the reliability of the alleged victim's evidence as they very quickly (with 30 minutes of deliberations) found the accused not guilty.

I thought unmarried women were not allowed to have sex and would thus be punished. Or is that other places like Afghanistan?

Mind you, the fact that the defendant felt he had to offer an excuse sort of indicates that had he confessed, he may have faced punishment himself.

Rape in Saudi Arabia has been considerably investigated by various observers. In 1988, sexual offences stood at 2.19 rapes per 100,000 population.^[1] Under Sharia law, a law generally enforced by the Islamic states(Islamic Law), punishment imposed by the court on the rapist may range from flogging to execution. However, there is no penal code in Saudi Arabia and there is no written law which specifically criminalizes rape or prescribes its punishment. If the rape victim first entered the rapist's company in violation ofpurdah, she also stands to be punished by the law's current holdings.^[2] In addition, there is no prohibition against marital rape orstatutory rape.

I'd assumed by the verdict that it was in SA.
