Bothers and Sisters in Islam I need your guide lines as am doing my research
on 'Pakistan's Law against Women'. The cases of Rape and Fornication had to
be decided under "Hadood Ordinance 1979" (islamic law). But since the there is aparently no rule of law in Pakistan and the law enforcement agencies are mostly curropt. It has been impossible for the female victim to prove her rape case under the Hadood ordinance because it requires her to bring 4 eye witnesses of pious character who actually have seen the penetration and in case she fails to prove she is given punishment under the crime of adultry and put in jail. The west and many people in Pakistan are against such law which apparently seems biased and against the humanity. President Mushararf
has amended the Hadood laws regarding the rape and fornication cases and the victim no more need to bring four eye witnesses and the case will be decided under the civil court.
Now am confused regarding the authenticity of Hadood ordinance 1979 in Pakistan before its amendment under 'Women's protection Bill".
I dont want to criticise Hadood Ordinance itself if it is according to Quran and Sunnah. But Yes I can criticise its misinterpretation and misconception.
Need your guidance.
