This is about the case of an Iranian woman
www.hindu.com/2010/07/10/stories/2010071062211700.htm
i think ,the worst sin done by human is adultery
just think about the wife or husband of the convicted person
how they(he/she) will feel when they first witness the unfaithfulness of their dear one
their(he/she) dear one is also dear to another person
the trauma of the person related to the convicted is unimaginable
yet , mostly men , they are readily available for adultery
after seeing the adverse effect of this crime , in your opinion ,what should be the punishment
stoning to death
or flogging in front of public
or letting free

Neither, I didn't know we still lived in the stone age. Of course, I'm from America where we sue the other person and bog down the courts with law suits that could be handled in the church. But who goes to church? There are just a bunch of hypocrites and liars there, well, step outside the church, they are there too. I don't know much about their laws but human decency doesn't seem to be a high priority. Come to America, land of the free, home of the brave.

That's a hoot: you're debating whether to kill or flog people for adultery and we're living in the stone age.
Get real.

Funny that the man involved has never been flogged or received any punishment. She should be let go unless they plan on punishing the man also which they don't.

STONING IS THE BEST OPTION AS IT IS FROM GOD ALMIGHTY,GIVEN IN ALL HOLY BOOKS.....!!!
If you really want to check all evils like adultery,incest,murder,homosexuality etc, you will have to introduce all the divine punishments given in the Holy Books.All married persons going for adultery or incest,must be punished heavily.And if you want that these evils should spread and enter in each home,then you can let these culprits free to do what ever they feel like........

Is adultery really the worst sin in your eyes? I think murder is worse, so is kidnapping, violence, stealing...etc. Yes, it is terrible, but stoning and flogging are both inhumane, archaic ways of punishing people, especially for a non-violent crime. Maybe I have different views because I live in Canada, but what someone does with their life is NOT anyone's business except their own and the people involved. Who are you to judge? Maybe she is unfaithful because her husband beats her or is a cruel husband. Why should she be stuck in that situation? We don't know the reasons behind her actions and we have no right to judge.
She should definitely be let free because the courts/police/government have no place in people's bedrooms!

hello lady
your are correct , laws depends on the society
firstly , put yourself in their shoes
the problem belongs to the society where love,marriage,family means a lot
do you know, in India, neglecting aged parents is punishable up to 3 months jail
do you know ,Islam was the first religion on the face of the earth which gave the right to the women to divorce men
even in US , this law came only in late 1930s
all other religions remained cruel to women and Islam gave lots of rights to women
if the husband is cruel, female got the right to divorce him
then she can very well marry the person whom she feels secure
this cannot be the justification for adultery
your last point is very interesting , lady
......courts/police/government have no place in bedrooms , really beautiful
there should be four witnesses who have seen this act
if witnesses proved wrong , then they get 80 flogs
this is Islamic law

yes..of course adultery is the worst crime...but it don't deserve these type of cruel punishments..
a person he/she commits adultery ..if he/she is not satisfied with the partner..
so we just can't blame the doer only..
so the best choice is a divorce...and its accepted in all communities...
I'm not trying to encourage adultery by saying so..ok..
felt really sorry for her...
thanks for sharing
have a great day/night.....

adultery is the worst crime?
worse than rape? worse than murder? worse than animal cruelty? worse than child abuse, worse than armed robbery?
no one would ever claim that adultery is perfectly fine, but I could come up with a list as long as my arm of crimes worse than adultery.
it's a breach of trust between two people, and any deity the Oath was sworn to.
the other crimes I mentioned aboce are definitely worse.

Our great religious teachers have taught us the power of forgiveness, and also that it is better not to judge our fellow man. It is not easy to do, I will admit. If your wife/husband has fallen in love with someone else and/or committed adultery, it would hurt, but we all have our karma to pay - we are all our own judges as we become more spiritually aware. Even the ones who stoned the adulterers are one day going to have to face themselves in order to forgive themselves. The situation is very sad, one in which I myself must try not to judge._Derek

Hi khad, It's clear that it depends on the culture and your measuring stick. Muslims are following Islamic law and other cultures are not going to agree with it. The only way your culture will change will be to get away from using Islamic law. I shudder to think what would be happening in the west if we were following some of the rules in the Bible. I don't believe that a person should be punished for adultery, it is a matter between a husband and wife and should be settled without violence. I'm sure that there are Muslims who would not agree with this punishment. I don't think that the west has a lot to be proud of either, our justice system leaves a lot to be desired. I am opposed to capital punishment, no matter what the crime. Blessings.

pose, your are suggesting to change to some thing ugly ,bad and inhumane
when Islam preserves moral , you feel bad
don't compare with biblical laws
they are not practical
as per bible looking at women is adultery where as to be punished under adultery Islamic law requires 4 witnesses
further if witness proved wrong they get 80 flogging in public
the reason why Islamic law is human and better than present human made laws is there is no jail in Islam for punishment

I think the guilty should be put in the stocks where everybody can see them, with a sign telling all about their misdeeds. Both parties should be there, not just the woman.

I am an angry person and it will make me angrier thinking that there are so many cases like this that are happening anywhere around the world. I would like to stone if I have to, or even pull out every nail of the infidel husband or wife (LOL) but that will not be necessary. God has His own way in punishing them later on. Wives and husband who are loyal should continue to be loyal. There will come a time when they would realize their sins and everything will be too late.
