Re: A raped woman who cannot produced four witnesses should keep quiet about it
The law could have all sorts of problems with it. All Im saying is it is right to amend hudood ordinances on this specific point, with which the Amir Jamaat-e-Islami explicitly disagrees: A raped woman should have more recourses that just 4 witnesses and a raped woman should NEVER be punished because she was raped and could not prove it. You’ve posted a lot of text, through which I dont know what addresses these two points. Please post the relevant bits.
edit: I see you’ve bolded sections of the text. So the judge sahab says that the conditions for proving rape include 1 witness and medical examination. So much the better. In that case Ameer Jamaat Islami is wrong on his claim that anyone going against the 4 witness rule is arguing against Quran and needs to say Kalima again. What happens if there are no witnesses to the rape btw.
