What Is The Punishment Of Rapé In The Quran? by ParisLove1: 10:20am On Jan 11, 2013
Hello everyone,

I don't know much about islam but i've been wondering about a question for a while now. Most of the time in the news we hear stories of women who are ràpe victims in Islamic countries being punished. Sometimes they re being forced to marry their rapist, jailed or killed under the law or extra judicially(honor killing). When there's an outcry against such injustice from non muslims(infidels) moderate Muslims will label such person(s) 'islamophobe' and say 'that's not what islam stipulates', 'no country practices real shariah' blah blah blah. So the question is Quran position on this? Why are Islam courts and judges getting it wrong? What is the punishment of rapé in the Quran?

Because the issue of ràpe victims being punished do happen. Some of us may still remember the story of Gulnaz.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDgj2lILJAA&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DvDgj2lILJAA

The 19 year old Afghan girl who was ràped was sentenced to 12years in jail for committing adultery or marry rapist. After much pressure from the international community, Gulnaz was pardoned by the President.

Hena begum wasn't as lucky as Gulnaz. The 14 year old girl was found guilty of fornication and sentenced to 100lashes according to sharia laws after she was ràped by her cousin. Hena collapsed after enduring about 70 lashes. She died few days later. www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/regions/asia-pacific/110330/hena-begum-teenager-flogging-bangladesh

These question are not asked to mock or insult anyone's belief but to find the truth. I believe if the truth is exposed everybody is a winner.

Praise be to Allaah.
The Arabic word ightisaab refers to taking something wrongfully by force. It is now used exclusively to refer to transgression against the honour of women by force (rape). 

This is an abhorrent crime that is forbidden in all religions and in the minds of all wise people and those who are possessed of sound human nature. All earthly systems and laws regard this action as abhorrent and impose the strictest penalties on it, except a few states which waive the punishment if the rapist marries his victim! This is indicative of a distorted mind let alone a lack of religious commitment on the part of those who challenge Allaah in making laws. We do not know of any love or compassion that could exist between the aggressor and his victim, especially since the pain of rape cannot be erased with the passage of time – as it is said. Hence many victims of rape have attempted to commit suicide and many of them have succeeded, The failure of these marriages is proven and they are accompanied by nothing but humiliation and suffering for the woman. 

Islam has a clear stance which states that this repugnant action is haraam and imposes a deterrent punishment on the one who commits it. 

Islam closes the door to the criminal who wants to commit this crime. Western studies have shown that most rapists are already criminals who commit their crimes under the influence of alcohol and drugs, and they take advantage of the fact that their victims are walking alone in isolated places, or staying in the house alone. These studies also show that what the criminals watch on the media and the semi-naked styles of dress in which women go out, also lead to the commission of this reprehensible crime. 

The laws of Islam came to protect women's honour and modesty. Islam forbids women to wear clothes that are not modest and to travel without a mahram; it forbids a woman to shake hands with a non-mahram man. Islam encourages young men and women to marry early, and many other rulings which close the door to rape. Hence it comes as no surprise when we hear or read that most of these crimes occur in permissive societies which are looked up to by some Muslims as examples of civilization and refinement! In America – for example – International Amnesty stated in a 2004 report entitled “Stop Violence Against Women” that every 90 seconds a woman was raped during that year. What kind of life are these people living? What refinement and civilization do they want the Muslim women to take part in? 

The punishment for rape in Islam is same as the punishment for zina, which is stoning if the perpetrator is married, and one hundred lashes and banishment for one year if he is not married. 

Some scholars also say that he is required to pay a mahr to the woman. 

Imam Maalik (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: 

In our view the man who rapes a woman, whether she is a virgin or not, if she is a free woman he must pay a “dowry” like that of her peers, and if she is a slave he must pay whatever has been detracted from her value. The punishment is to be carried out on the rapist and there is no punishment for the woman who has been raped, whatever the case. End quote. 

Al-Muwatta’, 2/734 

Shaykh Salmaan al-Baaji (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: 

In the case of a woman who is forced (raped): if she is a free woman, the one who forced her must pay her a “dowry” like that of her peers, and the hadd punishment is to be carried out on him. This is the view of al-Shaafa’i, and it is the view of al-Layth, and it was also narrated from ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib (may Allaah be pleased with him). 

Abu Haneefah and al-Thawri said: the hadd punishment is to be carried out on him but he is not obliged to pay the “dowry”. 

The evidence for what we say is that the hadd punishment and the “dowry” are two rights, one of which is the right of Allaah and the other is the right of the other person. So they may be combined, as in the case of a thief whose hand is cut off and he is required to return the stolen goods. End quote. 

Al-Muntaha Sharh al-Muwatta’, 5/268, 269 

Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: 

The scholars are unanimously agreed that the rapist is to be subjected to the hadd punishment if there is clear evidence against him that he deserves the hadd punishment, or if he admits to that. Otherwise, he is to be punished (i.e., if there is no proof that the hadd punishment for zina may be carried out against him because he does not confess, and there are not four witnesses, then the judge may punish him and stipulate a punishment that will deter him and others like him). There is no punishment for the woman if it is true that he forced her and overpowered her, which may be proven by her screaming and shouting for help. End quote. 

Al-Istidhkaar, 7/146 

Secondly: 

The rapist is subject to the hadd punishment for zina, even if the rape was not carried out at knife-point or gun-point. If the use of a weapon was threatened, then he is a muhaarib, and is to be subjected to the hadd punishment described in the verse in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“The recompense of those who wage war against Allaah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off from opposite sides, or be exiled from the land. That is their disgrace in this world, and a great torment is theirs in the Hereafter”

[al-Maaidah 5:33] 

So the judge has the choice of the four punishments mentioned in this verse, and may choose whichever he thinks is most suitable to attain the objective, which is to spread peace and security in society, and ward off evildoers and aggressors. 

And Allaah knows best

Re: What Is The Punishment Of Rapé In The Quran? by bigmanahmad: 9:42am On Jan 12, 2013
Praise be to Allaah.
Rape is essentially zina (fornication or adultery) and is proven in the same way as zina is proven, which is with four witnesses. The punishment is one hundred lashes if the man was a virgin and stoning if he was previously married. 

If rape is committed using the threat of a weapon or if the woman is abducted forcefully from her home, then it becomes a case of haraabah (banditry or terrorising the people), which is proven with two witnesses only. The punishment for it is mentioned in the verse in which Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on the opposite sides, or be exiled from the land. That is their disgrace in this world, and a great torment is theirs in the Hereafter”

[al-Maa’idah 5:33]. 

It should be noted that he becomes subject to this hadd punishment merely by abducting the woman forcefully, regardless of whether he has his way with her or not. 

Merely by abducting her he comes under the ruling of “qaati‘ at-tareeq” (lit. bandit); if he commits zina with her (rapes her), that his crime becomes more abhorrent because he has then combined two crimes: zina and haraabah. 

For more information please see the answer to question no. 72338 and 128448 

Secondly: 

The accusations made by non-Muslims against Muslims, saying that the man's word is given precedence and that the woman cannot prove that she was raped, and that the man will get away with his action, is not correct. 

But one of the basic principles of both sharee‘ah and man-made law, to which attention must be paid, is that the accused is innocent until proven guilty and the claim of the claimant – whether man or woman – cannot be accepted unless there is proof that it is valid. Hence the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “If people were given on the basis of their claims, people would make claims on the blood and property of others. Rather the oath should be sworn by the defendant.”

Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4277; Muslim, 1711 

An-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: 

This hadeeth represents one of the most important principles of shar‘i rulings: it shows that no person’s word can be accepted merely on the basis of his claim; rather there is a need for evidence or confirmation from the defendant, and if the claimant wants to ask the defendant to swear an oath, he has the right to ask for that. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) demonstrated the wisdom behind not giving on the basis of a mere claim, because if it were to be given on that basis, then some people would make claims on the blood and wealth of others, and would regard that as permissible, and the defendant would not be able to protect his wealth or blood. As for the claimant, he can protect his wealth and blood by means of proof. 

Sharh Muslim, 12/3 

If the field were open for every woman to make claims of rape, the prisons would be filled to bursting with the men accused by those women, and they would not be able to prove their innocence. The matter is not so random that any woman’s claim may be taken as being true and certain, otherwise a woman could make a claim against her former lover in order to take revenge on him! Or she could make claims against rich and famous people and blackmail them, or against her father and brothers so as to escape their guardianship and authority. And these are things that would lead to the collapse of society. 

Thirdly: 

A woman’s claim to have been forced into zina can only be accepted on the basis of proof or strong circumstantial evidence. If there is no such evidence, then the hadd punishment is to be carried out on her as it is carried out on the zaani (the man who committed fornication or adultery). 

Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr (may Allah have mercy on him) said: 

She is not to be punished if it is proven that he forced her and overpowered her. That may be known from her having screamed and shouted for help. 

Al-Istidhkaar, 7/146 

Fourthly: 

The presence of the man’s semen on the woman does not prove that rape has taken place. That may have happened with her consent, in which case she is as deserving punishment as he is. It may be that she is claiming that he raped her because of an argument between them, so that he will be punished or in order to blackmail him. So this is not proof that the crime of rape has taken place, nor is it proof that the crime of zina has taken place. It is possible that no real intercourse took place, but the semen entered her vagina or she put it there herself. The possibilities are many and according to sharee‘ah, hadd punishments cannot be imposed on the basis of possibilities; rather it must be on the basis of proof. The results of DNA testing may be mistaken, or samples may be switched or the results may be falsified, so they cannot be taken as shar‘i evidence on the basis of which hadd punishments are carried out. 

In the answer to question no. 103410 we quoted a statement from the Islamic Fiqh Council of the Muslim World League on the issue of DNA and ways of benefitting from it, in which it said: 

Firstly: there is no shar‘i prohibition on relying on DNA in criminal investigations and regarding it as a means of proving evidence in crimes for which there is no hadd punishment or qisaas (retaliatory punishment) prescribed in Islam, because of the report which says, “Ward off hadd punishments by means of doubts (i.e., do not carry out hadd punishments if there is any doubt).” That is so as to achieve justice and security in society; it leads to the criminal getting the punishment he deserves and proving the innocence of the innocent. This is an important aim of sharee‘ah. End quote. 

This statement indicates that the hadd punishment may not be applied to the accused if the evidence that is specified in sharee‘ah in order for the crime to be proven is not available. But there may be strong circumstantial evidence to prove the case against the accused. 

In this case the judge may punish the accused with a disciplinary punishment (ta‘zeer) as he sees fit. Then the accused (once he is proven guilty by circumstantial evidence) will not escape punishment. 

Even if this criminal is saved from punishment in this world, that is not due to a shortcoming in sharee‘ah. It may be because there is not sufficient evidence or it may be because of shortcomings on the part of the judge or because he is not sufficiently qualified … and so on. 

Moreover, there is the punishment of the Hereafter that awaits him if he does not repent from his crime or if Allah does not forgive him. 

And Allah knows best.

They probably got their inspiration from the following:

City Rape
If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed
unto an husband, and a man find her in
the city, and lie with her; Then ye shall
bring them both out unto the gate of
that city, and ye shall stone them with
stones that they die; the damsel,
because she cried not, being in the
city. -- Deuteronomy 22:23-24



Country Rape
But if a man find a betrothed damsel in
the field, and the man force her, and
lie with her: then the man only that lay
with her shall die. ... For he found her
in the field, and the betrothed damsel
cried, and there was none to save her.
-- Deuteronomy 22:25-27


Of an unbetrothed virgin
If a man find a damsel that is a virgin,
which is not betrothed, and lay hold on
her, and lie with her, and they be
found; Then the man that lay with her
shall give unto the damsel's father fifty
shekels of silver, and she shall be his
wife; because he hath humbled her, he
may not put her away all his days. --
Deuteronomy 22:28-29


Of prisoners of war
And Moses said unto them, Have ye
saved all the women alive? ... Now
therefore kill every male among the
little ones, and kill every woman that
hath known man by lying with him. But
all the women children, that have not
known a man by lying with him, keep
alive for yourselves. -- Numbers

Yes all man made laws has punishment for this kind crime except that of Allah. Quran is the only book of law that has no punishment for rape as you've shown in your both posts.
Islam has a clear stance which states that this repugnant action is haraam and imposes a deterrent punishment on the one who commits it.
If islam stance is clear why don't save us all this lecture and just quote the verse from Quran?
Islam closes the door to the criminal who wants to commit this crime. Western studies have shown that most rapists are already criminals who commit their crimes under the influence of alcohol and drugs, and they take advantage of the fact that their victims are walking alone in isolated places, or staying in the house alone. These studies also show that what the criminals watch on the media and the semi-naked styles of dress in which women go out, also lead to the commission of this reprehensible crime.
So in your twisted mind any girl that dresses like that is asking to get raped? The girls in Islamic countries that were raped, were they dressing semi-naked as well? I didn't ask you the cause, i asked where is the punishment from Quran?
The laws of Islam came to protect women's honour and modesty. Islam forbids women to wear clothes that are not modest and to travel without a mahram; it forbids a woman to shake hands with a non-mahram man. Islam encourages young men and women to marry early, and many other rulings which close the door to rape.
Isn't that great? Once you're not wearing the overflowing tent you're asking to get raped. And Allah in his infinite wisdom countered it infringing women's right to freedom of movement, association and advocating child marriage. Marriage to a 9year old is that rape? Can a child give consent to sex?
Hence it comes as no surprise when we hear or read that most of these crimes occur in permissive societies which are looked up to by some Muslims as examples of civilization and refinement! In America – for example – International Amnesty stated in a 2004 report entitled “Stop Violence Against Women” that every 90 seconds a woman was raped during that year. What kind of life are these people living? What refinement and civilization do they want the Muslim women to take part in? 
 Nobody is asking your women to take part in any civilization. America unlike your civilized muslim countries doesn't punish women for being rape victims. The punishment for rape is clearly stated out in their constitution where is it in the Quran?
The punishment for rape in Islam is same as the punishment for zina, which is stoning if the perpetrator is married, and one hundred lashes and banishment for one year if he is not married. 

Some scholars also say that he is required to pay a mahr to the woman.
basically what we've is the opinion of some scholars huh? why you couldn't even find a single verse in the Quran dealing with this matter? Does Allah believe that rape of women is not important to address?
And Allaah knows best
does he?

2. Insulting those that non-muslims worship apart from Allah. We should not even mock their leaders

Hi. I don't really know if my reply to you will be of any use.

Actually there is no mention of the punishment of rape (specifically) in the Qurán.
But this in no way means that rape is not a crime as Islamic Jurisprudence is not based on the Qurán alone.
Authentic traditions of the Prophet are also valid sources of laws in Islam.

For example, the following are punishable in Islam but their punishment is not in the Qur'an:
1. Drinking Alcohol
2. Armed Robbery
3. Witch Craft

For these and other offences, Muslims make recourse to the Hadith. The vast body of Islamic Jurisprudence is to
be found in the Hadith. For example, there is no detailed description of how to observe the Salah (i.e prayer) in
the Qurán but it is the single most important act of worship for a muslim. The rites of the pilgrimage are to be
found in the Hadith as well and not the Qurán.

Adultery as you know is punishable in Islam by death or flogging. The rapist has already committed adultery of course
and as such is liable to the punishment that is due to the fornicator/ adulterer. In the very least.
In Islam, a man cannot have sex with a woman unless he pays her the dowry. That's probably why some of the Islamic
scholars believe the rapist should pay the woman the dowry money as well.

Probably, the reason why you opened this thread is 'what then is the punishment for the woman who has been raped'?
As bigmanahmad said, there is no punishment on the woman due to one of the most important sayings of the Prophet:

"Actions are judged according to intentions"

And how will rape not be punishable in Islam if merely accusing a woman (or man) of fornication, falsely, attracts a punishment of
80 lashes?

As such, I think your question should be 'What is the punishment of rape in Islam'.

All the crimes you mentioned above is not the same with rape. Rape is worst them, Quran mentioned punishment for other sexual offenses but non for rape?

and as such is liable to the punishment that is due to the fornicator/ adulterer. In the very least.
Using that logic the victim would be punished too, which happens more often in muslim countries.
In Islam, a man cannot have sex with a woman unless he pays her the dowry.[quote] That's not true, Muslim man can have sex with a woman he didn't pay dowry for. Right hand possess? [quote]That's probably why some of the Islamic
scholars believe the rapist should pay the woman the dowry money as well.
Like marry her?

3. Witch Craft

All the crimes you mentioned above is not the same with rape. Rape is worst them, Quran mentioned punishment for other sexual offenses but non for rape?
For these and other offences, Muslims make recourse to the Hadith. The vast body of Islamic Jurisprudence is to
be found in the Hadith. For example, there is no detailed description of how to observe the Salah (i.e prayer) in
the Qurán but it is the single most important act of worship for a muslim. The rites of the pilgrimage are to be
found in the Hadith as well and not the Qurán.
Could You point out the punishment in the hadith?
Adultery as you know is punishable in Islam by death or flogging. The rapist has already committed adultery of course
and as such is liable to the punishment that is due to the fornicator/ adulterer. In the very least.
Using that logic the victim would be punished too, which is more often the case in muslim countries.
In Islam, a man cannot have sex with a woman unless he pays her the dowry.
That's not true, Muslim man can have sex with a woman he didn't pay dowry for. Right hand possess?
That's probably why some of the Islamic
scholars believe the rapist should pay the woman the dowry money as well.
Like marry her?
Probably, the reason why you opened this thread is 'what then is the punishment for the woman who has been raped'?
Yes, so far no Answer.
As bigmanahmad said, there is no punishment on the woman due to one of the most important sayings of the Prophet:

"Actions are judged according to intentions"

And how will rape not be punishable in Islam if merely accusing a woman (or man) of fornication, falsely, attracts a punishment of
80 lashes?
I dunno am not a muslim
As such, I think your question should be 'What is the punishment of rape in Islam'.
Ok, what is it?

@paris-love
There is no explicit verse in the Quran specifying punishment for rape for two reasons:

1. Any illicit sex in Islam can be punished with up to death.so raping a woman can also take the death penalty as the action falls under illicit sex.

2. Islam does not recognize the mockery of wedlock designated in the west as "marital rape".in Islam,the couple should have sex.it is the man's right to be given sexual pleasure by his wife.otherwise,the man can commit adultery.for the good of the marriage and of society,good wives don't use sex as a weapon against their husbands for every misunderstanding.if the man comes to the level of reaching out to his wife in bed after misunderstanding,that should be seen as reconciliatory gesture,and the couple should make up.if the man is very evil for the woman to justify and use sex as a weapon,then she have no reason to share the same bed with him.she should leave.

I don't know.

Paris_Love: All the crimes you mentioned above is not the same with molestation
Indeed witchcraft, alcoholism, armed-robbery and r.ape are not the same things. And I never mentioned that they were. You missed my point. And I wouldn't want to go into a debate between which is more hateful before God between r.ape and witchcraft. My point was just to highlight that not all crimes have their punishment mentioned in the Qurán.

3.
Paris_Love: Like marry her?
No. Giving the dowry money is to serve as a financial penalty. For the scholars who hold that view.

4.
Paris_Love: Could You point out the punishment in the hadith?
"When a woman went out in the time of the Prophet for prayer, a man attacked her and overpowered (r.aped) her. She shouted and he went off, and when a man came by, she said: That (man) did such and such to me. And when a company of the Emigrants came by, she said: That man did such and such to me. They went and seized the man whom they thought had had intercourse with her and brought him to her.

She said: Yes, this is he. Then they brought him to the Apostle of Allah. When he (the Prophet) was about to pass sentence, the man who (actually) had assaulted her stood up and said: Apostle of Allah, I am the man who did it to her.
He (the Prophet) said to the woman: Go away, for Allah has forgiven you. And about the man who had intercourse with her, he said: Stone him to death.

He also said: He has repented to such an extent that if the people of Medina had repented similarly, it would have been accepted from them. (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 38, Number 4366)"

You probably didn't read my reply in full. Actions, as mentioned in a hadith are judged according to intentions. In Islam, there is no punishment when one is forced to do something under duress.

Now let me ask you this question: What punishment does Christianity recommend for r.ape? undecided
Re: What Is The Punishment Of Rapé In The Quran? by Nobody: 9:14pm On Jan 18, 2013
Stalwert: They probably got their inspiration from the following:

City Rape
If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed
unto an husband, and a man find her in
the city, and lie with her; Then ye shall
bring them both out unto the gate of
that city, and ye shall stone them with
stones that they die; the damsel,
because she cried not, being in the
city. -- Deuteronomy 22:23-24



Country Rape
But if a man find a betrothed damsel in
the field, and the man force her, and
lie with her: then the man only that lay
with her shall die. ... For he found her
in the field, and the betrothed damsel
cried, and there was none to save her.
-- Deuteronomy 22:25-27


Of an unbetrothed virgin
If a man find a damsel that is a virgin,
which is not betrothed, and lay hold on
her, and lie with her, and they be
found; Then the man that lay with her
shall give unto the damsel's father fifty
shekels of silver, and she shall be his
wife; because he hath humbled her, he
may not put her away all his days. --
Deuteronomy 22:28-29


Of prisoners of war
And Moses said unto them, Have ye
saved all the women alive? ... Now
therefore kill every male among the
little ones, and kill every woman that
hath known man by lying with him. But
all the women children, that have not
known a man by lying with him, keep
alive for yourselves. -- Numbers
31:15-18

Paris_Love: Where in your own religion? Can you provide any verse from the Quraan? Yes all man made laws has punishment for this kind crime except that of Allah. Quran is the only book of law that has no punishment for rape as you've shown in your both posts. If islam stance is clear why don't save us all this lecture and just quote the verse from Quran? So in your twisted mind any girl that dresses like that is asking to get raped? The girls in Islamic countries that were raped, were they dressing semi-naked as well? I didn't ask you the cause, i asked where is the punishment from Quran? Isn't that great? Once you're not wearing the overflowing tent you're asking to get raped. And Allah in his infinite wisdom countered it infringing women's right to freedom of movement, association and advocating child marriage. Marriage to a 9year old is that rape? Can a child give consent to sex?  Nobody is asking your women to take part in any civilization. America unlike your civilized muslim countries doesn't punish women for being rape victims. The punishment for rape is clearly stated out in their constitution where is it in the Quran? basically what we've is the opinion of some scholars huh? why you couldn't even find a single verse in the Quran dealing with this matter? Does Allah believe that rape of women is not important to address? does he?

I'm made to believe that any hadith that contradicts the Quran should be considered a fabricate and should be discarded as not being authentic.
Surah2:282 And call in to witness fromamong your men two witnesses; but if there arenot two men, then one man and two women from among those whom you choose to be witnesses, so that if one of the two errs, the second of the two may remind the other;
According to this verse the testimony of a woman is half and cannot be accepted,so how can Muhammad go against the dictates of the Quran? Even the Hadiths you used, are considered weak and you wouldn't even accept them if they put up a particular argument against Islam. There are no quotes from Bukhari or Muslim, which are considered the most authentic Hadiths in Islam.
Volume 3, Book 48, Number 826:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
The Prophet said, "Isn't the witness of a woman equal to half of that of a man?" The women said, "Yes."
This verses might have influenced bigmanahmad to say the woman has to provide four witnesses to make her case.
bigmanahmad: Praise be to Allaah.
Rape is essentially zina (fornication or adultery) and is proven in the same way as zina is proven, which is with four witnesses. The punishment is one hundred lashes if the man was a virgin and stoning if he was previously married.
 
Her only chance of finding 4 male witnesses is that if the attacker was of very low IQ or was really drunk and attacked you in the broad daylight in front of a bunch of degenerate hornymen who watched and cheered and are later willing to testify. I hope you see the reason why this hadith cant be accepted.

1. Any illicit sex in Islam can be punished with up to death.so raping a woman can also take the death penalty as the action falls under illicit sex.
The victim inclusive?
2. Islam does not recognize the mockery of wedlock designated in the west as "marital rape".in Islam,the couple should have sex.it is the man's right to be given sexual pleasure by his wife.otherwise,the man can commit adultery.for the good of the marriage and of society,good wives don't use sex as a weapon against their husbands for every misunderstanding.if the man comes to the level of reaching out to his wife in bed after misunderstanding,that should be seen as reconciliatory gesture,and the couple should make up.if the man is very evil for the woman to justify and use sex as a weapon,then she have no reason to share the same bed with him.she should leave.
Of course women can't but men can use sex as a weapon can't they? Even the the prophet once punished all of his wives by not sleeping with anyone of them for one month. Depriving one’s wives sexually is the second grade of punishment recommended in Qur'an. The first level is admonishing, the second level is depriving them of sex and the third level of punishment is beating them. Qur'an 4:34
Of course when a man decides to punish a wife with sexual deprivation he can satisfy himself with his other wives. But Muhammad’s anger had made him make the oath not to sleep with any of them for one month. That of course would have been too much of hardship for the beloved messenger of God (peace be upon his immaculate soul),therefore Allah in his mercy came to the aid of his prophet and revealed the Surah Tahrim. Now imagine if all his more than a dozen wives descended on him(Group Intimacy?) who knows what might have happened. You still think marital rape is a 'mockery of wedlock'? grin

Wow.

1) Well first of all, the verse of the Qurán you quoted was for financial transactions, debts in particular. Please go and look at the verse again. You must understand the context of the verse of the Qurán before even thinking of quoting.

2) For example, the witnesses for adultery is four witnesses and not two as mentioned in this verse. Qurán 24:6-9 also proves that the testimony of a man is not superior to a woman in matters of accusation of adultery.

3) Thirdly, in this hadith the r.apist was sentenced on his own testimony. I really don't see how the hadith contradicts the Qurán as you claim.

4)
Paris_Love: Even the Hadiths you used, are considered weak and you wouldn't even accept them if they put up a particular argument against Islam.

Considered weak? By whom? You or Islamic scholars? The ONLY reason why you are not willing to accept the hadith is because it doesn't support your arguments. I'm sure you would have considered it authentic if it did. angry. You asked for a hadith, No? What now is the problem? undecided

5) Can you quote a hadith - a weak one even - in which a rape victim was commanded to be stoned to death?

6)
Paris_Love: There are no quotes from Bukhari or Muslim, which are considered the most authentic Hadiths in Islam.
Can you please quote any reference that says Muslims accept only hadiths from Bukhari and Muslim? And that all other hadith should be discarded?
