Re: Hudood Ordinance Amended!!!
Sa1eem, I agree with all that, but the 4 witness requirement was NOT the problem with the Hudood as made out in the media. If 4 witnesses could not be produced by the woman, she would be able to have the case tried under Tazir, which does not need 4 witnesses. So my point is, it was possible to prove a rape in Pakistan using DNA evidence using the old rape laws. There were problems with the Hudood, and it wasnt Islamic in my opinion, but the 4 witness law was only for HADD cases, whilst most prosecutions that took place were under TAZIR courts.
