So that in the case she isn't able to produce 4 male witnesses she is stoned to death. Lol okay.
4 witnesses is for zina only, it's not required for rape.
Also, if someone cannot provide adequate evidence to back up their accusations, they are whipped not stoned.
Don't talk about things you don't know.
This makes my blood boil, I want rajm implemented in this country!
"To safeguard the rights of the accused, the crime must be proven with evidence in court. There have been various historical interpretations of Islamic law, but the most common legal practice is that the crime of rape may be proven by:
- Witness testimony - The testimony of four witnesses to the act itself is traditionally the requirement to prove adultery under Islamic law "
"They are whipped not stoned". Well isn't that quite a concession.
The 4 witness proof is not required for cases such as rape, it can be proven via alternate methods. This is the view of many prominent Islamic jurists such as Taqi Usmani.
It's a huge concession, because you won't survive getting stoned to death, unlike getting whipped a few times.
Also, the punishment is perfectly appropriate. We cannot afford to allow people to accuse others of crimes which carry death penalties.
It can. But this was only after the advent of modern scientific techniques. Imagine the amount of women who not only got raped but then also got whipped for it after not being able to produce 4 male witnesses. Oh wait how can I expect any empathy from a person who supports this system.
