Critics of the law include those who claim that it equiparates the crime of zina (adultery) and zina bil jabr (rape).
A woman alleging rape is required to provide four adult male eyewitnesses. In principal, the failure to find such proof of the rape does not place the woman herself at risk of prosecution. However, in practice, these safeguards have not always worked.
Moreover, to prove rape the female victim has to state that sexual intercourse had taken place, which seems in practice to be viewed judicially as an admission of guilt on her own part, rather than as evidence of rape (see
blaming the victim). If the alleged offender, however, is acquitted for want of further evidence th
e woman now faces charges for either adultery, if she is married, or for fornication, if she is not married.
According to a report by the National Commission on Status of Women(NCSW) "
an estimated 80% of women" in jail in 2003 were there as because "they had failed to prove rape charges and were consequently convicted of adultery."
