That’s always been the process. Historically, cases of rape and even zina were extremely rare. People got married early, family, clan, and tribal ties were strong, and hudud laws were in place, all of these factors served as preventatives for sex crimes. Also, there was no internet or newspaper so news did not spread as quickly and widely as today. Also, there was an effort by people to maintain privacy and protect reputation. This was also respected by the courts to the point where a woman who did not go out in public would have the magistrate come to her house to obtain her testimony.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe40b76658b4c23283a","tag":"Contemporary Life: Other","count":137},{"_id":"668d9ff30b76658b4c232a04","tag":"Justice","count":4},{"_id":"668da02e0b76658b4c233053","tag":"Rape","count":2}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:40:15.250Z"}
