In light of the above article, what does sharia say about rape?
Need 4 witnesses & the victim (the girl )can be charged with a crime.
Not my kind of “voluntary tribunal”.
Not what we want in operation here.
If someone is accused, arrested and indicted on rape charges, the local DA will prosecute.
I don’t like sharia law principles.
But they have no legal power, and rape is a crime under our laws and will be handled accordingly, whether the Muslims involved like it or not.
They may of course refuse to cooperate or testify, but then people do that all the time for all sorts of reasons.
BTW, the present common interpretation of sharia law with regard to rape is not only a corruption, it’s an exact reversal of the clear intent of the Koran.
