Pakistani women speak up on rape women's rights, Islamic law

Postby Amina_M on Mon Sep 26, 2005 5:31 pm

Why are we not doing more about this?

The Islamic Hudood laws are a tool in the hands of men - with these laws they can rape women and be totally unaccountable.

Under Hudood if a woman makes a rape allegation she must provide four pious male witnesses or face a charge of adultery herself.

So a woman is in the ridiculous position of having to produce four Muslim adult male eyewitnesses, men who just stood there and watched.

If sex by force is not proved, this woman can be charged with "zina" - sex outside of marriage.

Archaic law! That is totally unfair. However, in the western world too many women agree to sex and then charge rape after the fact.

If the man is actually guilty of rape there is only one effective punishment. The punishment should be total nullification (both castration and penectomy). That will guarantee that he will not rape again.

However, what would be a comparable punishment for a woman who is guilty of rape?

Technically women cannot be guilty of 'rape' only a sexual assault.
