witnesses for adultery with the conditions of rape.In doing so, they coldly forget that asking a rape victim to bring four witnesses is inflicting further pain on her.Moreover, who in his right mind would stand & watch an act of rape take place, not stop the accuser & then appear before the court as a witness?

For adultery, if someone refutes a woman’s claim of innocence, the onus falls on that person to provide four witnesses. The woman can also deny the claim by taking a solemn oath & clearing her name in public. She does not need even one witness to prove that she has been raped. Nowhere in the entire Quran or the ahadith has it been mentioned that a rape victim requires four witnesses.
