Adultery Punishment
Peace! Sir, the Quran has told us the Hadd (maximum punishment which can be given) for a zani. It doesn’t mean that the punishment for the married and unmarried will be the same. A judge has to look at the case with scrutiny. That means he will look at the background, education, environment around the culprit etc. In real life, cases do not go like this: He committed murder, kill him. Rather, it is seen why the murder occured, what was the mental state of the culprit at the time of the crime, what are his educational and social backgrounds, etc. Marriage will be one of the points taken into consideration and will make the culprit more deserving of the maximum punishment. However, the Hadd has been decided by God and that is 100 flogs. Even though the Quran mentions the case of accusation of Zina on a married person, it does not refer to any other punishment other than the 100 flogs. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong.
