Forgiveness Of Rape
@Irfan76 Dr. Irfan Sahaab, Thank you for the response. keeping in mind the situation that she wasn’t willing and agreeing, the man knew about this but still took advantage of her not being aware and did the act swiftly despite knowing that she won’t allow it. This initial act of entrance, was done by deception on the end of man, despite his awareness. Will this man be close to rape because of his swift deception in order to make way for his satisfaction while knowing about the consent of woman? Second point that I wanted to raise was, that just for the sake of understanding of the principle, even if it was a sort of real rape where her cousin kept resisting physically for penetration, but he still performed by overpowering her. but later she has forgave him and has no intention to bring this to court, is the man required to go and tell his own coerced Zina that he inflicted on his cousin? Or let’s suppose, a man who robbed a house during day by gun point and decided to run. He had full opportunity to run away as he was anonymous. But he felt strong regret just after a few hours, upon which he placed all those robbed items back into their door step and some extra money as compensation for his terror. The family never reported the crime indicating their forgiveness. Is he now obliged to go to confess to court for his muharabah? Mr. Irfan would you please shine some light on the incident mentioned above about cousins and on the second point I raised for my better understanding of the principle?
In all these cases repentance suffices.
