Why? Because such laws would be un-Islamic. The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they “fear disobedience”: “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them.” — Qur’an 4:34
Muhammad’s child bride, Aisha, says in a hadith that Muhammad “struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: ‘Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you?’” — Sahih Muslim 2127
“In conservative Mauritania, confronting sexual violence laws,” AFP, March 7, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Feminists in Mauritania are fighting an uphill battle to see tougher penalties for sexual violence and discrimination in a conservative state where criminal law is derived from Sharia.
“Few survivors of sexual assault dare to speak out in Mauritania,” Human Rights Watch said in a report last September.
It blasted “a dysfunctional system that discourages victims from pressing charges (and) can lead to re-traumatisation or punishment.”
Women’s groups have helped to draft legislation to combat gender-based violence, calling for stiffer penalties for rape, criminalisation of sexual harassment and the creation of specific courts to handle sexual violence.
But the bill has been twice rejected by parliament, despite efforts to craft text which is within the confines of Sharia law — for example, extra-marital sex would remain a crime.
Lawmakers objected to provisions allowing women to travel without their husbands’ permission, and permitting victim support groups to file civil suits.
Spearheading the struggle for change is the Association of Women Heads of Family (AFCF), whose president Aminetou El Moctar told AFP: “We need this law, because we know violence against women is soaring” — although statistics on the scourge are seriously lacking.
At AFCF’s offices, Zahra (not her real name), related how a neighbour snatched her five-year-old daughter from her home while she was sleeping, and then raped the girl.
Because of the girl’s young age and the fact that the rapist was a serial paedophile, he was quickly convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
But AFCF says that in Mauritania, convicted rapists rarely serve out their sentences.
“He will probably do a year at most,” said Mariem, a case worker. “After that he’ll be able to pay bail and get out on parole. Then, when there’s a general amnesty, he’ll benefit from it.”…

Islam is a MISOGYNY CULT.
