Woman can only press a charge for rape with two independent witnesses?

Question

It's true that under Muslim's Law, woman can only press a charge against a man for rape unless she have two independent witnesses? If not, she will be charged for adultery? Don't it sound stupid and discrimination against woman?

My countries don't have such law, but I believe this Law is in force in most Muslim's Countries.

Answer 1

I heard it had to be a man as the witness.
but that is not the only Stupid law about women.
But they (women) seem to love having men dominate them and set insane rules of social standards to demean them.
Like any god of compassion would allow beating a woman let alone stoning them to death.

Answer 2

That is just another way that women are oppressed. Most acts of rape happen with just the victim and the perpetrator, so it would stand to reason that once again the women is being punished for being victimized. Sounds a little bit like western culture where the victim is revictimized over and over by the judicial system.

Answer 3

yes it does and yes that is correct. Actually she needs three "men" to claim they saw her raped. Well why would any man sit there and watch a girl get raped without stopping it. Muslim law is not in any way good for women or their rights and needs.

Answer 4

Yes it does. By treating women unfairly from our point of view like that, they "encourage" them to never put themselfs in a position where they can be suspected like leaving the house making new friends etc..
Muslim men are really paranoid and think a woman will cheat on them and dupe them into raising somoneelses child if left unattended.

Answer 5

Yes, although I believe it is the very strict Sharia law, not "muslim" law in general, but yes, women generally take a back seat in certain arab cultures.

Answer 6

Answer 7
