It is not permissable to make accusations without the four witnesses.
Making an accusation without the four witnesses is a punishable offence.
“
And those who accuse chaste women, and produce not four witnesses, flog them with eighty stripes, and reject their testimony forever. They indeed are the rebellious ones. Except those who afterwards repent and do righteous deeds, for verily, God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. ”
[Quran, an-Noor v.4-5]
So a woman needs 4 reliable male witnesses who saw the penis enter the vagina to report being raped.
An Australian woman was raped in the UAE, she reported it without having 4 witnesses so she was jailed.
Islamic law punishes the rape victim if she cannot locate 4 witness to this rape.
Why does this forum attract so many liars? It is quite odd.
4 witnesses are required to convict a person for
adultery, and as far as we know this has never happened.
Rape is a totally different crime to adultery, and 4 witnesses are not needed to convict a person for rape.
A rapist can be convicted on the testimony of the victim alone.
Sudanese female minor sentenced to death by stoning
Monday, 21 May 2012 17:51
A Sudanese judge, Sami Ibrahim Shabo sentenced to death by stoning a young woman accused of committing adultery.
Intisar Sharif Abdalla, believed to be between 15 and 17 years of age (although prison authorities claim she is 20) was sentenced to death in accordance with Article 146 of the Sudanese criminal law albeit without legal representation.
The judgment was made on May 13, 2012 after just one hearing and came after an “admission of guilt” plea following torture and brutal beatings by Sharif’s brother who instigated the case. Her co-accused however remains un-convicted and walks freely.
This absurd decision demonstrates both the inhumane and brutal sanctioning to death for committing sexual relations outside of marriage, but furthermore calls into questions the legal institutions and frameworks applied, especially as the “admission of guilt” was made under duress.
Sharif is accused of having a relationship outside wedlock and getting impregnated by a man that is not legally her husband. Initially, she and the man whom she is co-accused with both denied the charges.
Her lawyer, only able to access her after the judgment was made, understands that following her initial denial she was beaten up and tortured repeatedly by her brother forcing her to confess to committing adultery. With the ‘coerced’ confession, Judge Sami Ibrahim Shabo of Ombada General Criminal Court, Khartoum state, sentenced her to stoning after just one court session.
Sharif is understood to be deeply traumatized and is without access to any suitable psychosocial support. Her newly born child is also with her in prison. Ultimately, some observers believe the judgment demonstrates the scale of discrimination against women and girls in Sudan and the biased judgments made against them for acts which involves two sexes – a man and woman. It is incredulous that the man with whom she has been accused is able to walk free showing explicitly the strong anti-women sentiment and harsh management of family disputes that exist within both the Sudanese judicial system and society.
Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA) is calling on the Sudan Ministry of Justice and other relevant Sudanese government bodies to investigate this case thoroughly and possibly overturn the judgment.
