Quote by: tinybear  Sharia law provides that you can't get a rape conviction unless the act was witnessed by 4 male witnesses who turn up to give evidence against the accused. C'mon, get real. That makes it impossible to convict the rapist. And you know what happens to a woman whose allegation of rape is unsubstantiated? Sharia law is a rapist's charter. No doubt about it.
By the way, General Musharraf's reform of the law may not get off the ground and may well turn out to be a reform in name only. My bet is it will not even be enforced in practice because of Muslim opposition. Dhimmi Watch: Pakistan: Muslim scholars say new rape law will turn country into "free sex zone" |

The punishment for rape in Islam is the same as the punishment for zina (adultery or fornication), which is stoning if the perpetrator is married, and one hundred lashes and banishment for one year if he is not married.
