I'm not saying it's right, but the woman isn't getting punished for being raped, she is being punished for being with a man who wasn't a family member.
Now it is still an incredibly stupid law, but not understanding why she is being punised and spouting off about how stupid the laws are is a bit ignorant. You're 100% right, but for the wrong reasons.

I dont have the time to research it now, but in many countries in order for a women to not be tried as an adulturer (sp) and to convict someone of rape, there usually has to be atleast 3 male witnesses that will confirm her story. Otherwise most of the time the female will be tried for adultury and the man will be let off scott free.
