In Muslim Law a Woman who cannot prove Rape is tried for Zinna( Adultery).

I must explain to my friends and readers bring out a point that they may not be aware off. Firstly as per the Sharia in Islamic Law, a wonan has to prove the offence of rape has to bring forth 4 witnesses. Now rapes are not done publicly and from where the woman will bring the witnesses. Secondly a woman's evidence is half of a man , thus to even corroborate her statement she must bring another woman. Really silly. No way a woman can prove rape. In case a woman cannot prove rape, the consequence is terrible. She will be tried for Zinna or adultery and the punishment for this is death by stoning. These are medieval punishments and yet they are on the statute books of most Islamic nations and even those nations who are considered progressive like Pakistan
