A Somalian woman has been buried neck-deep in sand and stoned to death after a court run by militant group Al-Shabab convicted her of having 11 husbands, without divorcing the previous ones.

According to Sharia Law, which Al-Shabab adheres to, polyandry, or a woman having multiple husbands, is illegal, while a male may be permitted up to four wives.

Al-Shabab controls large swathes of the Somalian countryside, regularly conducting raids on capital Mogadishu to try and overthrow the central government.
