A Saudi Arabian widow aged 75 has been sentenced to 40 lashes and four months in prison for mingling with two young men who were reportedly bringing her bread.

Khamisa Sawadi, a Syrian who was married to a Saudi, breached rules barring women from meeting with male non-relatives, a court ruled.

The two men, including Sawadi's late husband's nephew Fahd al-Anzi, were also found guilty and sentenced to prison terms and lashes.

Mrs Sawadi argued she saw 24-year-old al-Anzi as a son and even breast-fed him when he was a baby.

But the court, which had acted following a tip-off from al-Anzi's father, dismissed her evidence.

In Islamic tradition, breast-feeding establishes a degree of maternal relation, even if a woman nurses a child who is not biologically hers.

Mrs Sawadi's lawyer, Abdel Rahman al-Lahem, told the media Mrs Sawadi, who is not yet serving her sentence, plans to appeal.

The case has sparked further criticism of the religious police and judiciary in Saudi Arabia, which many feel exploit their mandate to interfere in people's lives.
