- Note field is incorrect "Qatar does not deport people for being homosexual or performing homosexual acts."
- Status is not correct "Gay is not tolerated in Qatar"
- Status is not correct "Punishment of up to 3 years in prison and a fine for consenting males . Homosexuality could lead to the death penalty for citizens. "
- Status is not correct "its not detailed enough
"
- Status is not correct "Status should be either 'male illegal, female uncertain' or 'illegal (imprisonment as punishment). The law reads as follows:
Whoever commits the following offences shall be punished with imprisonment for a term of no less than one year and no more than three years:
1- Grooms a female to commit adultery;
2- Instigates, induces, seduces a female in any way to commit adultery or to frequent a brothel in order to commit debauchery whether inside or outside the country;
3- Leading, instigating or seducing a male by in any way to commit sodomy or dissipation;
4- Inducing or seducing a male or a female in any way to commit illegal or immoral actions;
5- Bringing, exposing or accepting a male or a female for the purpose of sexual exploitation.
This is article 296 of the penal code.

Based on this, it is clear that male homosexual activity is illegal and punishable with one to three years in prison. It is not as explicit what the law is on female homosexual activity, but the clause banning 'illegal or immoral actions' would probably cover this as well. It is true that there is no record of the law being enforced since the 1990s, but that does not mean that it has not been.
In recent months, Human Rights Watch has called for the law to be repealed prior to the world cup in 2022, but so far there has been no communication from the government that it has any intention of changing the law. "
- Status is not correct "Being a female homosexual is neither legal nor illegal, there is a gap in the law."
