Quran 4:15 And Quran 4:16 – Punishment Of Homosexuality
Men also engage in prostitution. So they should be mentioned. What I was saying is 15 is about lesbianism 16 about homosexuality
Even in today’s time, women are the ones who are linked with prostitution as a business. The ratio is still significant as compared to men. If 16 is about lesbianism then 15 shouldn’t have included women again. And how can four witnesses identify lesbian culprits, while no such requirement is there for homosexual culprits?
Men are committing crime indeed by going to prostitutes. But in prostitution, men are hard to identify, while women can be identified easily, and in addition to that, those women are not only committing zina, they are also committing fasad fil arz. Men going to prostitutes, if identified, will be dealt-with accordingly as culprit of Zina.
So why did ayah 15 mention only women then 16 mention both men and women. What was the point?
