New Delhi: after Mulayam Singh’s much criticised comments on rape, the Samajwadi Party is faced with another embarrassing moment coming from their Maharashtra State Chief Abu Azmi and He stated that women who have physical relations with men (even consensual) should be given the death penalty.
The statement was made in response to a question on his thoughts on Mulayam Singh’s rape comments. Abu Azmi went on to add that even the rape victims should be punished.
Calling upon Islam, Maharashtra State Chief Abu Azmi said that rape was punishable by death in his faith. “Rape is punishable by hanging in Islam. But here, nothing happens to women, only to men. Even the woman is guilty.
He went on to add that, In India, if you have sex with a person with consent, its fine. But if that same person complains, it’s a problem. Nowadays, we see a lot of such cases. Girls complain when someone touches them, and when someone doesn’t touch them. It becomes a problem then, and the man’s honour is ruined in this. If rape happens with or without consent, it should be punished as prescribed in Islam.
Talking about the solution to the ‘problem’ of rape, Azmi said that both, the woman and the man involved should be hanged.
