Re: A raped woman who cannot produced four witnesses should keep quiet about it
The purpose of this thread seems to have evolved since it began. It initially was a question on 1,2, and 3, since I assumed JI leader’s understanding of the law was correct, and his insistence that this understanding is what is mandated by the Quran meant I asked for comment on that. Since then its been pointed out that the JI leader was wrong about what the law actually requires to prove rape (4 witnesses not necessary) by Mufti sahab, although that is not a view taken by governmental body appointed to study the law. This makes Ameer sahab’s opposition to the amendment farcical, along with his insistence that any view other than 4 witnesses to prove rape is tantamount to heresy (since that makes Mufti Usmani a heretic). While the controversial point of Ameer sahab saying what women should do if they are raped without witnesses under Islamic law is believed to be incorrect by all posters, this is now a discussion on different aspects of the original law and the amendment to it.
