Pakistani Islamic Party Leader Says Women Should Not Report Rape Unless Able to Produce Four Witnesses

The leader of Jamaat-e-Islami of Pakistan, the country’s largest and most powerful pro-Sharia party, recently affirmed that a woman should not report being raped unless she has four male Muslim witnesses who saw the act. He bases his claim on Qur’anic ground: “Why did they not produce four witnesses? Since they produce no witnesses, they verily are liars in the sight of Allah” (Qur’an 24:13). In this non-English interview, Munawar Hasan makes his thoughts on rape clear:
The Malaysian Islamic reformist group Sisters in Islam quickly pointed out the injustice in Hasan’s claim:
“In Pakistan, it is reported that three out of four women in prison under its Hudud laws [these are the laws of what it forbidden and permitted by Allah himself], are rape victims. Because rape is equated with zina [unlawful sexual intercourse] under Hudud law, rape victims are required to produce four pious male witnesses. It is of course nearly impossible for the rape victims to produce the four male witnesses required to prove their allegation. Therefore their police report of rape was taken as a confession of illicit sex on their part and they were duly found guilty.”

Then they won‘t say anything because it won’t hurt the conservatives and being anti Islam gets them too close to being pro israel. We are talking about a wholly owned division of the democratic-socialist party.

“well, they are not in jail because of not having four witnesses, they are in jail for confessing to unlawful sex”…
.. in other words, dont report rape if you are a muslim woman….

Posted on July 9, 2011 at 11:01pmPlease ,you’re getting bent out of shape over this .Up until quite recently women here were second class citizens and you know it.rape charges were met in court and with the public with the defendant having to prove she was a pious virgin .These Muslims are not much different then the mentality that prevailed here till the 60′s womens movement.[Now unfortunately we have another absurd situation where if a woman accuses a man of rape ,his name and face is made public but not hers!.is this not tacit conceding that it is shameful for the woman to be a rape victim[as oppossed to say a robbery victim?]If so then women are still being held somewhat responsible.Rape is so often a he said/she said situation so those muslims though they go overboard ,are acknowleding the reality that it is so easy for any one to say anything about anyone.

Posted on July 9, 2011 at 10:24pmYou are correct, ma’am. In the world of islam a woman is only worth 1/2 of a man. She has no rights to own property, cannot go out in public unless “escorted” by a male family member, and is basically treated as chattel. Another neat trick to get a wife is to pick out a woman, rape her, and then offer to marry her in order to erase the shame that SHE has placed on the family!!! It’s impossible to prove rape, so the guy gets a wife and the girl’s family gets rid of an embarrassing situation. Meanwhile the girl (and yes, they’re mostly young teenagers) gets sold into slavery by her family for all effects and purposes…a big reason why many teenaged islamic brides KILL THEMSELVES instead of putting up with their abusive “husbands”. Sharia law is a mad man’s dream!
