Yes, it is fair. She can never get her life back. This will scar her for life. I am a woman, I was kidnapped for three months and raped, among other things I can not possibly talk about even now, and this happened 9 years ago. If that guy, who is on the run still, were to be caught and I had the option of either jailing him or making him die a slow death, believe me, he'd be getting tortured to death.
"When a woman went out in the time of the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) for prayer, a man attacked her and overpowered (raped) her. She shouted and he went off, and when a man came by, she said: That (man) did such and such to me. And when a company of the Emigrants came by, she said: That man did such and such to me. They went and seized the man whom they thought had had intercourse with her and brought him to her.
She said: Yes, this is he. Then they brought him to the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him). When he (the Prophet) was about to pass sentence, the man who (actually) had assaulted her stood up and said: Apostle of Allah, I am the man who did it to her.
He (the Prophet) said to the woman: Go away, for Allah has forgiven you. And about the man who had intercourse with her, he said: Stone him to death.
He also said: He has repented to such an extent that if the people of Medina had repented similarly, it would have been accepted from them. (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 38, Number 4366)"
Here is what Christianity says about rape.
Rape is a big crime that could actually take the woman's or the victim's life away. Let us examine how Christianity deals with the rapist: "If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay the girl's father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the girl, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives. (From the NIV Bible, Deuteronomy 22:28)" Although this Verse from the Bible only talks about virgins, but its the only verse in the entire Bible that talks about raping single women. Not to be biased or anything, but the Bible seems to have quite weird things in it that are quite irrational and quite ridiculous. Deuteronomy 22:28 forces the raped woman to marry her rapist. My question to the writers of the Bible is why in the world would any raped female victim want to be in the same town, not the same bedroom !! with her rapist?.
Also, the Bible seems to promote raping of single women: "But if out in the country a man happens to meet a girl pledged to be married and rapes her, only the man who has done this shall die. (From the NIV Bible, Deuteronomy 22:25)" This is quite an interesting verse. We see in Deuteronomy 22:28 that if a man rapes a single woman then she will be forced to be his wife, while if a man rapes a married woman or a woman who is spoken for, in Deuteronomy 22:25, then he shall be put to death. There is absolutely no punishment for the rapist of a single woman in the Bible. For those Christians who think that they don't have to follow the Old Testament, well my answer to them is this: The Old Testament prohibits for the brother to marry his sister, or for the son to marry his mother. The New Testament doesn't even talk about it. Does that mean that a Christian brother can marry his sister? or a Christian son can marry his mother? Jesus himself anyway ordered his followers to follow the Old Testament, so their argument is totally invalid.
Question to Jews and Christians: How is the Bible supposed to prevent some loser from stalking the most beautiful single woman in town, rape her, and then sue her in court to become his wife so he can continue raping her for the rest of her life?!

We admire your opinion, yet it is the information of the writer who is familiar with terrific. those punishments have been seldom utilized interior the full Islamic background using fact they actually artwork. once you be sure a secure state for each physique to stay in peace it incredibly is existence decide to tolerate such movements against criminals in very constrained situations. think of approximately this and what is going on immediately.

It's fair to kill the rapist, if you believe in capital punishment. I think there actually has to be a witness who testifies against the rapist, though, and that is a difficult thing to find. Also, it is often the victim who is punished, not the rapist. That's unfair.

Ask any man what he would do if he got his hands on the one that raped his wife, daughter, mom, sister, ect..... He would tell you he would kill him, and most probably would to it he could. So its not the fact that its fair or unfair. They just want to say that everything Islam says is wrong. Islam laws are just and fair, its the people who make them corrupt.

In response to what the lady above called "daysleepe...".
She says Christianity claims that if a man rapes a woman he needs to pay 50 shekels etc...
wake up thats not Christianity, so stop spreading your pagan lies, Christianity condemns such acts, but it is for the state laws to deal with such a person.

it is completely fair and best for the preservation of our society. current statistics show that 70% of inmates are recidivists. this means that they are repeat offenders..... why should a man be allowed to give exuses for such a disgusting crime and then given a chance to repeat it.
Islam is logical. If Allah or our perfect Prophet (pbuh) prescribed this then we have no reason to argue with it. even if we were going to use our imperfect minds to do so.... i see it as for the best
peace and blessings to all

No, it's too mild - it should be very painful and very humiliating, to really make the rapist realize how his victims felt.

it would be unfair in cases where the accused was unjustly convicted. in my opinion, for cases which can be proved beyond a doubt, death is fully appropriate.

I think it is a fair punishment
See what Dr.Zakir Naik has to say on this issue:
Capital punishment for the rapists
Under the Islamic shariah, a man convicted of having raped a woman, is given capital punishment. Many are astonished at this ‘harsh’ sentence. Some even say that Islam is a ruthless, barbaric religion! I have asked a simple question to hundreds of non-Muslim men. Suppose, God forbid, someone rapes your wife, your mother or your sister. You are made the judge and the rapist is brought in front of you. What punishment would you give him? All of them said they would put him to death. Some went to the extent of saying they would torture him to death. To them I ask, if someone rapes your wife or your mother you want to put him to death. But if the same crime is committed on somebody else’s wife or daughter you say capital punishment is barbaric. Why should there be double standards?
Western society falsely claims to have uplifted women
Western talk of women’s liberalization is nothing but a disguised form of exploitation of her body, degradation of her soul, and deprivation of her honour. Western society claims to have ‘uplifted’ women. On the contrary it has actually degraded them to the status of concubines, mistresses and society butterflies who are mere tools in the hands of pleasure seekers and sex marketeers, hidden behind the colourful screen of ‘art’ and ‘culture’.
USA has one of the highest rates of rape
United States of America is supposed to be one of the most advanced countries of the world. It also has one of the highest rates of rape in any country in the world. According to a FBI report, in the year 1990, every day on an average 1756 cases of rape were committed in U.S.A alone. Later another report said that on an average everyday 1900 cases of rapes are committed in USA. The year was not mentioned. May be it was 1992 or 1993. May be the Americans got ‘bolder’ in the following years.
Consider a scenario where the Islamic hijaab is followed in America. Whenever a man looks at a woman and any brazen or unashamed thought comes to his mind, he lowers his gaze. Every woman wears the Islamic hijaab, that is the complete body is covered except the face and the hands upto the wrist. After this if any man commits rape he is given capital punishment. I ask you, in such a scenario, will the rate of rape in America increase, will it remain the same, or will it decrease?
Implementation of Islamic Shariah will reduce the rate of rapes
Naturally as soon as Islamic Shariah is implemented positive results will be inevitable. If Islamic Shariah is implemented in any part of the world, whether it is America or Europe, society will breathe easier. Hijaab does not degrade a woman but uplifts a woman and protects her modesty and chastity.
