If a woman is raped, why is SHE the criminal under Sharia law?

Question

And why aren't people alarmed about those who want to impose such law here?

It's not that black and white - it would be pleasant to believe that most Muslim countries don't have Sharia law but most apply it in some way and for some, that's the law.

Answer 1

Because if she didn't have a vagina she wouldn't have been raped! Those women & their damn vaginas! They're dangerous!

LOL

Seriously though..... it makes no sense!

Answer 2

Read the story to get your own answer. She is not getting punished for getting raped, she is getting punished for breaking the law by being alone with men who were not her relatives.

A woman who is raped is not a criminal under Sharia, the rapist is.

However, A man and a woman alone together who are not related are both committing a crime.

A woman who claims that she has been raped when she wasn't is also commiting a crime.

A very big problem with Sharia law is that rape must be witnessed. No witnesses implies consentual sex. That is where the problem comes in and why rapes are rarely reported to the police.

BTW, I am not in favor of Sharia law so don't shoot the messanger.

Answer 3

As another person pointed out, she's a criminal for her actions leading up to the rape. She broke the law of the land by riding in a car with a man not of her family. If she had obeyed the law, she wouldn't have been raped.

It sounds a LOT like the US. It's well known rapists exist in this country, yet millions of young women get drunk around strangers, late at night, without a buddy to watch their backs. They're easy prey, and bring a lot of it upon themselves. No, they're not "asking for it", but they shouldn't be surprised either. They might as well leave their car windows down with the keys in the ignition in a shady neighborhood.

Such laws as the one this unfortunate lady broke were designed to protect her purity, which is highly valued in her culture. She's a prime example of what happens to those who don't heed the old teachings.

Answer 4

a million- you'll locate yet another signal that moslems could attack the moslems who're aggressors. conflict is in person-friendly words in self protection. 2- freedom of speech is sacred except when it comes to accusing a married woman of adultery with out information. 3- the punishment of sodomites is to damage them till they end it, a minimum of in public. no individual is authorized to kill them, who kills them could get killed. in case you fairly love those people you'll favor them a healthful organic kin and sparkling life. 4- there is evil in sharia regulation yet qoran is acceptable. research the great prestige for women individuals in the arabian civilization in zegreid honcke's "allah's solar shines over the west", she's a german pupil. 5- saudi arabia went below the guideline of evil people, wahhabies, they are area of hanbalis who're very small team, maximum moslems are secular. 6- again to no. 2 7- it really is more advantageous disgusting to generalize in a racist way. 8- it really is no longer a strong artwork, it destroys households and spread ailment and degrade women individuals. now you're humorous! 9- actual islam, mutazilite doesn't let such dirt. because it really is in accordance with reason, qoran, and elementary experience.

Answer 5

Becase that's what the law says.

Do I think such a law is barbaric and unconscionable? Yes.
But that's what the law says, based on centuries of tradition.

Fortunately, the vast majority of Muslim communities and countries don't enforce that law. Just like the vast majority of Christian communities and counties don't stone people to death for adultery. An equally barbaric law.

Answer 6

To Steve C, you really need to look up stuff about CAIR (the Council on American Islamic Relations). They basically want a muslim caliphate in this country.

To coragryph, I think you missed the point. You are quick to point to Judeo/Christian tradition with regard to adultery. Last time I check the definition of rape, it wasn't consentual. Big difference, wouldn't you agree?

Answer 7

Because if it is the belief of their heroes the muzzies...the libs will let anything go...even the murder by beheading on TV..so why should they worry over a young lady condemned for getting raped.......

Answer 8

ok... who is to blame in this scenario?

a 17 year old girl goes to a all-night party against the wishes of her parents.
she gets drunk and high
she gets raped
who is to blame??
its not like she cant think...

Answer 9

Because in Islam, women are not beings but belongings. So, they do not care at all about them. I know some women will claim they are happy and fulfilled in Islam, but that's just because their menfolk have told them they have to.

Answer 10

Who wants to impose those laws here? I know you are not going to say liberals and destroy what little credibility you have left. Give me a break. I am a liberal and have worked for the past four years improving breast cancer awareness. yeah, I hate women.........idiot.
