DUBAI, April 13: A Pakistani man faces death by stoning in the United Arab Emirates for committing adultery with four of his stepdaughters, a local daily reported on Friday. The Supreme Court confirmed the death sentence issued by an Shariah court in the emirate of Ajman, the Gulf News reported.

Police arrested Abdul Aziz in 2005 after his youngest and fifth stepdaughter reported the case when he refused to let her marry a local man, it said.

The man, who had 11 children from illicit relationships with his four stepdaughters, admitted his guilt but said he was the father of only some of the children.

The four stepdaughters had been sentenced and received 80 lashes each, it added.—Reuters
