Youngsters taking photographs of women in public places on the sly using camera-fitted mobile handsets and circulating them among friends through the multi-media messaging system (MMS) is disturbing the conservative Qatari society no end.
Women, especially when they are visiting shopping complexes, are cautious but despite this there are youngsters who can click their pictures without them having any inkling.
