hudood laws

What exactly are the basic postulates of the hudood laws regarding rape and how consistent are they with islam? Are they still actively referred to in making important court decisions regarding rape cases in pakistan?

Re: hudood laws

Hudood laws in pak don't differentiate between rape and adultery/fornication. In Islam, there is deff a difference between the two, it would be irrational to say otherwise.

Re: hudood laws

If you don;t mind me saying, this is a very complex topic. And I fear this will get derailed to a wrong direction.

Re: hudood laws

My understanding is the same.

In rape, only the rapist is criminal but in adultery/fornication both are partner in the crime; hence, the different punishments in both of the cases.

Re: hudood laws

so are they referred to in rape cases as well?
