This is not the first ever case of its kind.

There is a rigour to Islamic Law, i.e sharia.
You are not allowed to have sex outside of marriage - a position also ardently held by the Roman Catholic Church.
If you do, regardless of the method by which you it happens = GUILTY.
So:

GUILTY = the punishment:

Here in the case cited below is the punishment.

So, this poor Norwegian lady is in for it; but you will not be surprised if you hear the appropriate voluble distress for her by all human rights groups here in the West.

In Roman Catholicism, she can receive absolution for her infraction of THE LAW. 

In Catholicism, like Islam:

No absolution = HELL forever!
