Rape is punishable by hanging in Islam. But here, nothing happens to women, only to men. Even the woman is guilty. Girls complain when someone touches them, and even when someone doesn't touch them. It becomes a problem then ... If rape happens with or without consent, it should be punished as prescribed in Islam.' (sic) and Ayesha denounced him for his absolutely barbaric remark, taking a stand for all the girls out there.
