It was a indian custom that
when a man dies his wife had to burn herself, so i think indians shouldn't be even talking here....
anyways i wanna tell solomon some thing...this
judgment was against sharia...cuz
according to sharia the punishment of lashes (not 100 btw its also severe in jewish law)
can only be given if 4 witnesses (who are considered pious and truthful by the whole society) watch the intercourse as clearly as u see a thread passing through a needle (in other words highly impossible) -and to make sure it is not used by anyone,- if the person claiming that a woman committed adultery is lieing and cannot prove than the same punishment is given to him.
As Jews too follow the commandments of God, its not as if they don't have any punishments,
Unlawful intercourse with a woman betrothed to a man was adultery, because the betrothed woman was deemed as inviolable as the married woman. The
punishment for this crime was stoning to death at the place of public execution (Deut. xxii. 24). The punishment for Adultery according to the Mishnah (Sanh. xi. 1) was strangulation; the rabbinical theory being that wherever the death penalty was mentioned in the Bible, without any specific statement of the manner of its infliction, strangulation was meant (Sifra, Ḳedoshim, 4, 9).
The
priest's daughter who committed Adultery was burned to death, according to the rabbinical interpretation of the text in Lev. xxi. 9 (Sanh. 66b), and her paramour was strangled (Maimonides, "Yad ha-Ḥazaḳah, Issure Biah," iii. 3). When the crime is committed with a bondmaid betrothed to a man, it is not Adultery technically, because the woman is not free, and the death penalty is not inflicted, but as she has a quasi-marital status, she and her paramour are scourged (Lev. xix. 20). Ibn Ezra (ad loc.) takes the view that this case refers to the Hebrew maiden who has been sold by her father and who is intended to be the bride of her master or of his son, but who is not yet betrothed; for the betrothal would have made her free ipso facto.
