How Is Rape Dealt With In Islamic Law?

A viewer writes “I read that if the victim does not have 4 men who have witnessed the rape then it’s not provable and that victim may be punished as well.

I fail to see how this might be seen as justice as perpetrators can tip toe around evidence, by keeping the victim in isolation.” Dr. Shabir Ally answers.
