When arrested for adultery, she claimed she had been raped. Maybe she was, maybe she wasn't. It's an obvious ploy when faced with a death sentence for adultery. I don't agree with the death sentence for adultery, but these women are not being prosecuted because they were raped. They are being prosecuted because the court, rightly or wrongly, rejected their claim that they had been raped. People, even women, do sometimes lie, especially when a lie might possibly help them avoid being executed.
Man! You're working pretty freakin' hard to justify the unjustifiable....
I'm not justifying anything. I'm merely pointing out that a claim of rape is not identical to its occurrence.
These laws, as they are being implemented, are in violation of basic human rights and also of the Koran.
But there is an attempt on the part of some to claim that innocent women went to the police, claimed they were raped, and were promptly charged with adultery. This is not what happened. What happened is sick enough. Why make things up?
