Facing Death for Adultery, Nigerian Woman Is Acquitted: "The panel also cited more substantive grounds. The police officers who arrested Ms. Lawal produced no witnesses to fornication, the court said. The court also gave a nod to what defense lawyers had called the 'sleeping embryo' theory: under some interpretations of Shariah, an embryo can be in gestation for up to five years, meaning that Ms. Lawal's baby could have been fathered by her former husband."

Alright class, now who can tell me what century this event took place in?
