Punishment for crimes of rape?
361798
Jail time and/or fines.  In some cases, probation is the sentence.  Child Rape:  Many states have passed a law called Jessica's Law.  A girl named Jessica was raped and killed in Florida by a man who had already committed rape, but was given a light sentence.  To prevent this from happening again, Jessica's law sets a sentence of a minimum of 25 years, and a GPS tracking device on the rapists when they get out of jail.\n\nMany liberals are against this, either because they don't like the GPS (right to "privacy" even though the GPS system would save lives) or they hate children:)

I believe that, yes, if there is no doubt of a persons guilt (such as DNA evidence, video evidence, multiple witnesses, etc.) then they should lose their life for taking anothers.\nAnd I believe there should be capital punishment for serial rapists, especially if they rape or molest children.

this is a deep question and needs details i dont have. so it will be better to ask a scholar.\ni just wanna comment on the rape issue. first of all the 4 witnesses is for the adultery case not rape.\n\nrape victims are victims and their statement is automatically accepted unless there were clear signs of Lying. \nthe rape victim gets no punishment al all, why should her? the rapist get the same punishment as adultery. the punishment differs if he was married or not married. if the Rapist is married i believe he gets the death penalty but if he's not he gets lashed I'm not sure how many times.\n\n5-sex with a young girl within marriage who is mature enough to get married religiously speaking is not forbidden in any religion. it's not accepted in our society now adays but back in the days that was normal as long as it's marriage.\n\nbut if the child was raped then again punishment will be as for rape.\n\nnot at all, why would i insult you thanks for asking this good question. \nShariah laws are a lot and complicated and need STUDY. the average Muslim doesn't have all the answers when it comes to shariah laws that's why Muslims consult scholars on those matters.\n\nyou can ask a scholar on any Islamic website and i hope you get the answers you are looking for.\n\ntry this website\nhttp://www.islamtomorrow.com/'\n\npeace.

Rapers belong in prison

I'm an American now living in the UK. I'm in complete agreement with the death penalty in murder and rape cases. I feel that if you take a life, your life is forfeited. Rape takes a life in a different way. Chances are a woman that's raped won't ever be normal again.

Capital punishment is VERY expensive -- with appeals and public defender costs, far more than life in prison without parole.\n\nIt has been suggested that more effective than the death penalty (which accomplishes little because it is so rare) would be plucking out the eyes of the offender.\n\nOne problem with proposals to punish rapists "more severely" is that rape is often difficult to prove; if you make the punishment too severe the jury, having doubts, acquits. One doesn't hear of all the extortion cases where a woman has sex and threatens a rape charge unless she is paid off. And of course one doesn't hear of all the cases of date rape where the woman fears she will not be listened to and believed. \n\nIronically, the best solution is one proposed by an off-the-wall cult: never have sex alone and unseen, in private. One subculture where charges of "rape" are unknown is the "dogging" subculture. Google "dogging".\n\nThink of all the cases of technical and statutory rape without violence of any kind. Think of those cases of men charged with raping their wives -- simply because the wife was underage ("nonage")\n\nThink of all the lying women -- it's not just the men who lie.

it depends\nand the punishment is for BOTH not just the woman like non Muslims here say.\nand there has to be 4 adult witnesses to the incident. not just some BS claim.\n\nread this http://www.understanding-islam.com/related/text.asp?type=article&aid=101

That's a good idea, actually- but I don't know what the sentence should be...\n\nMaybe three years mandatory in prison (minimum!)- without the possibility of getting out early. But if the crime is premeditated and cruel, then the sentence should be more severe.

I may be a bit older but I remember when it was a capital offense and rapists got the death penality... This was as recent as the 1960's.  Then came a bleeding heart, liberal society that coddled these monsters, I personally believe these people cannot be reformed by being incarcerated and like a sick animal must be put down.... for their own good as well as societies in general.\n\nNotice I didn't use the politically correct phrase... sex offenders but used the terminology that describes who and what they really are Rapists.and murders... !

I think it makes women look like a whore, not to mention I feel that rape is worse than murder (unless they are wearing things like that.)  That makes you a prime target for a predator, and if you are dressed like that you have it coming.

Making people "do the time" (i.e. imprisoning them) is not always the best solution anyway. For non-violent first time offenders, non-custodial punishments (e.g. a period of community service) have been shown to produce a far lower re-offending rate than banging people up.\n\nRe the example above - I think that something that happens behind closed doors between two consenting adults should not punished. It may be distasteful to you, but then again, it's none of your business.

Perm dude, have you ever actually read about Islam???\n\n\nFirst of All, Rape is considered a terrible crime in Islam. A raped woman is regarded as a total victim and It is stated in the Quoran that rape is one of the greatest sins/crimes.\n\nThis sounds like asking, if someone was robbed, will his people disown him? of course not and if that happened it has NOTHING to do with Islam...\n\nIn Islam, the raped woman is a total victim and the rapist is regarded as a ciminal who should be severely punished...or even killed! \n\nIf the raped woman was a virgin, she has the right to do a re-hymenization surgery and not tell anyone about the rape.\n\nTrue muslim people sould fully support rape victims.\n\nIn Muslim countries, Rapists are usually jailed for 25 years and sometimes condemned to death..\n\nIslam NEVER asked people to disown rape victims, he asked people to support them and punish rapists....\n\n\nPeace!

I think there is allot of women who  throw the the RAPE work around very hazardously, not thinking of the repercussions.  To accuse some one of rape is a serious charge, that can change the lives of everybody involved for ever!   If convicted the guy would go to prison for years and the girl would be branded as the chick that got raped, and most guy wouldn't want any thing to do with that.  If she turns out that she is full of sh*t, then she will be the one is serious trouble w/ the law.   She should be careful and think about this before going any further.  Personally If I was at party and something like this happened, I would kick the sh*t out of that person.

I was molested by my brother when I was 13 and while I would like to say yes, I can't. I've forgiven my brother since then, but my forgiving him doesn't mean that I've suddenly forgot about the entire incident or that I approve of what happened. I think this is not the corse to take. I do think that harsher penalties should be in place though. There was one case that I was watching on Court TV and this guy raped a minor and only got 6 months for it. That's a slap on the wrist. I don't this would be grounds for you to use the word murder though. These child molesters in a sense have murdered their victims, because I and many others will never be the same. I use the word murder because that is exactly what it seems like because they kill your soul and any hope you had for the future.

What if the person is convicted and then punished accordingly by your standards here and it comes to light that he/she was in fact innocent? I cannot tell you how many time I have heard horror stories about abuse. both physical and sexual, and what gets to me is how detailed and convincing stories can be only to find out they were false. Castration isn't an issue as there are a LOT of abusers who have nothing to castrate (women abusers) and even some abusers who ARE castrated. Killing them isn't an option at all because "Thou shalt not commit murder". Taking the life of another human being for any reason IS murder, even if they would deserve it, even if they themselves committed murder, even in a war. But in EVERY court action of rape and molestation, after a defendant is convicted, the victims or victims family DO get to make statements to the court and the jury and/or judge hears these pleas and pass sentence accordingly. Allowing these victims to pass judgment alone would not work because of the emotional issue as already stated. Also, which family member gets to decide if they are not unanimous??

Rape is not the fault of the victim or anything she/he is wearing. A skimpy clothing choice is perhaps not wise, but the rapist is at fault. The full weight of the crime belongs on his shoulders, no one else's.
