I posted the above for general info about Hadood laws form The Quran.
If going by the taliban statement in the first post,"She came out of her house with another guy who was not her husband, so we must punish her. There are boundaries you cannot cross," there is no ground for the punishment.
If she indeed commit Zina, then it is what it is. It is clearly stated in the Sura/Ayah quoted above. I am not trying to be politically correct here but
showing you what it says.
As for burden & degree of proof:
There are three clear means of proving zina:
1. The person accused of zina (zaani) makes a confession and does not go back on his confession. Once the person retracts his/her confession, they are not punishable because there is no proof of the act.
2. Four reliable and pious men testify that they witnessed the act and actually saw the male sexual organ inserted into the vagina.
3. A woman without a husband found to be pregnant.
Scholars agreed on the first two methods of proving zina, but disputed the third one; some scholars rejected the third point as proof.
