Is it or is it not true that in countries that are under Islamic rule, if a woman is raped they need a witness to the crime to be able to bring charges? I thought I had read somewhere that if a Muslim woman was raped by a Muslim man in a Muslim country, that woman would have to have at least two woman or one man testify that they witnessed the crime.
There may be countries with that in their laws, however according to Shariah, no witnesses are needed for the rape charge. Also, for regular adultery in Shariah, the women needs to bring no witnesses against the man, but the man must bring three witnesses against the woman. Some countries have corrupted the Islamic laws to be more patriarchal in recent history.
