In ultra-conservative Saudi Arabia, where rape and murder are among several crimes punishable by death, a father cannot be executed for murdering his children, nor can husbands be executed for murdering their wives.

Such crimes carry a jail sentence between five to 12 years.

Is this Islamic law? If yes pretty screwed up. Crime such as murder should be either death or behind bars for the rest of the life.
