“Before an adultery conviction can typically be obtained, for example, the accused must confess four times or four adult male witnesses of good character must testify that they directly observed the sex act”
Do they know how stupid that sounds????
The result of this law means only women are ever found guilty of adultery.
I worked with a Pakistani man that was very prominent in Pakistan: he would laugh at sharia law saying even though adultery is a crime that one can be killed over that only women needed to be scared of the law, because cheating men never got in trouble, unless they did something really stupid to make the adultery too public to overlook.
Forget the sexist angle, how about the insanity of executing people for adultery in the first place?
Quite a few men are executed for adultery in Saudi.
I suspect this is often because they were shtupping the wrong guy’s wife, but still...
