If a person makes an allegation of adultery against another person (male or female), only then he or she must produce four witnesses to support such an allegation: “And those who accuse chaste women [of adultery] and then do not produce four witnesses….â€; otherwise, he or she is guilty of slandering, which is a grave offense in Islam.
In this male dominating society, girls are maltreated and victimized, no doubt about that. But the punishment should be given to both the culprits(both boy and girl). If the girls who are also involved in the heinous crime are escaped from punishment, they may come up with false complaints. Now-a-days, boys are also exploited by girls both psychologically and financially. Thus, if the judge or the authority gives verdict only in the favor of girls, justice will be denied. The judgment should be impartial, otherwise they will have to answer to the Lord of the Worlds, the Almighty in the Hereafter.
