Based on this, what do you think? To you, does this say the victim is wrong or the victimizer is wrong?
"During the time of the Prophet (saw) punishment was inflicted on the rapist on the solitary evidence of the woman who was raped by him. Wa'il ibn Hujr reports of an incident when a woman was raped. Later, when some people came by, she identified and accused the man of raping her. They seized him and brought him to Allah's messenger, who said to the woman, "Go away, for Allâh has forgiven you," but of the man who had raped her, he said, "Stone him to death." (Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud)
During the time when Umar (raa) was the Khalifah, a woman accused his son Abu Shahmah of raping her; she brought the infant borne of this incident with her to the mosque and publicly spoke about what had happened. Umar (raa) asked his son who acknowledged committing the crime and was duly punished right there and then. There was no punishment given to the woman. (Rauf)"

what has happened though darling ?
why do some claiming Islamic law do otherwise ?
we all hear about the cases of women being stoned for being a victim
I know what the Quran says ... I see it here so often ( thanks to you and others )
but how does one see things so literally in black and white saying one thing ... and another see something totally different
this passage definitely gives rights to the victim ... as a victim
and punishes the crime
I am just seeing so many things that are contrary to this
and yes I understand the difference between Islam and cultural laws ... but these laws are based on Islamic laws
just trying to understand it all sweetie

This is a cultural thing----not an Islamic thing.
And, honor killing actually means killing someone who they feel has dishonored the family---------not the examples that you state., which are civil violations.

Honor killing removes what little bit of honor that was possibly there, if there was any!

No it is not allowed in Islam and is not Islamic.

It really doesn't matter. Murder is murder.
