If I understand Psyahs nuanced position, adultery punishment is stoning to death. It is normally only applied if the adulterer wants that punishment in order to be absolved of since after death. And that the punishment is typically not as severe - though not clear exactly what that punishment is. ( I browsed quickly and this is what I gathered. I could be wrong).

There is a thread about majority of millionaires in Pakistan not paying any taxes. What is the proper punishment for tax evasion by the wealthy?

Pakistanis pay bribes instead of taxes … … They get given the option to pay half of their tax or bill and they opt for it the person offering pockets the money and then gives them back a clean sheet. Taxation as a system needs to be cleaned up before people can be charged for not paying tax. The rich are often more powerful than the courts too … because of the bribery culture they can end up paying their way out of custody unless of course there are other rich people who want to pin them down … Islamic law tax is not necessary for Muslims, but there are other measures in place to get money for state purposes. The most appropriate process of getting money in these situations is to follow the process of law, write letters if no go involve debt collectors solicitors, if no go then involve courts, if verdict given then send bailiffs, etc …
