This story has been making headlines in Malaysia. But so far nobody seems to have answered the question of many discerning readers of this episode: How come no men are caned together with the women?
Why is it that only the women were punished for having extramarital sex? What about the men who fucked them? Don’t they have an responsibility in all this? Malaysia Boleh! Once again.
Malaysian Women Caned for Sex Say Punishment Was ‘Good’ for Them

Three Malaysians who became the first women to be caned under the country’s Islamic laws said they “deserved” their punishment and that it would help stem sex outside marriage.
The three women were caned for having sex out of wedlock in a move that has angered human rights activists and some lawyers who say the punishments are illegal in this mainly Muslim country that runs parallel civil and Islamic justice systems.
“I deeply regret my actions as I should have married before having sex,” the New Straits Times newspaper quoted one of the women who it said was aged 17, as saying in its Friday edition.
The newspaper did not reveal the womens’ real names and a picture showed the three clad in traditional Malaysian dress and headscarves seated before reporters.
It’s a question in my mind too: sex is an act of two, so why did only the women get punished for it? I personally think the punishment in rather unfair and unreasonable.
I don’t understand why the MEN are NOT receiving the same punishment, AND why the punishment is caning? Doesn’t strict Muslim law prescribes severe punishments for extramarital sex by both MEN and women? Isn’t the only punishment for adultery given in the Quran one hundred lashes and restriction of future marriage to another adulterer?
It depends on the interpretation. If you were a Sunni Wahabbist the punishment would be stoning to death…
But that’s not the point… Religion is between God and Man… Not Man and Man… And I am sure that there are much more important edicts in Islam more worthy of attention than sex… Like womens rights…????
I mean really… Why is sex the only thing that Islamic Governments care about????????
THOSE MALAY WOMEN SELF,THEY LIKE SEX MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD.AND THAT IS THE REASON WHY MOST OF MALAY LADY ARE LIVING WITH HIV TODAY.ALL THEIR BODY WILL BE SHAKING LIKE VIBRATOR EACH TIME THEY SEE DICK.
Well since it states there is a dual Islamic & Civil law so possibly the men were not Muslim? I seriously don’t believe thats the case but just a thought. Ridiculous actually.
