Talk:Hudud Ordinances

"A number of international and Pakistani human rights organizations are making an effort to get the law repealed. They are driven by ideological considerations rather than on-the-ground considerations." This is POV, there are many reasons to get this law repealed. Please can someone arrange for this to be removed?

POV?

This entire article seems POV to me....

Me too, although I don't have any argument with protecting women's rights. In fact, my wife is one. A woman, that is.

The challenge is to rewrite all the new info neutrally. What I just reverted sounds like an anti-Hudood editorial. --Uncle Ed 20:35, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

I followed it all the way through in media, papers, and expert opinions. There was a very very critical essay and a lecture given by Mufti Taqi Usmani which is almost non existent in the arguments regarding the support of this ordinance. hudoodordinance.com link is broken. It didn't count as credible either. I am putting up this POV tag again. Kindly discuss it here before removing it. —  Hamza  ^{[ talk ]} 09:51, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Then someone needs to take the initiative instead of leaving the tag up for eternity. i've tried a new section, but it needs the legal language for all the pakistanis out there.Lihaas (talk) 11:02, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Sex and rape

Cut from article:

The Ordinance is most criticized for criminalizing all extra-marital sex (zina), and making it exceptionally difficult and dangerous to prove an allegation of rape. (strikout markup for deleted part)

Who has criticized it for criminalizing voluntary sex like adultery or premarital intercourse? I haven't seen anything like that, in or out of Wikipedia. The only criticism I've seen is that of the double standard which punishes a woman but condones a man, for the same act.

This, by the way, is a major ethical/moral difference between Christianity and Islam. Recall the New Testament account of Jesus and the woman caught in the act of adultery. --Uncle Ed 17:38, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Repeated Reference

Reference numbers 3 and 9 are repeated, and 9 should be deleted. Reference 3 is better than 9 because it has a link to Taqi Usmani.

I tried to edit the page, but apparently the references are not editable. Can someone explain how to edit them (or just do the edit). Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arif Zaman (talk • contribs) 06:41, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Changes and additions

have made a lot of changes and additions to the article, undoing some of AJillani's changes. Over four years no Pakistan expert ever showed up. I hope it makes the article more useful and informative to the average reader. --BoogaLouie (talk) 03:09, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
