The law of a country is a safeguarding for the people. The safeguarding including the protection of the honor and lineage as outlined in the Shariah.

The honor of a person is stolen through the crime of rape. Rape is a violent and heinous crime against women.

Those who commit it will be punished according to the Malaysia’s civil criminal law, specifically through section 375, Malaysia Penal Code.

It is an illegal sexual intercourse between a man and a woman without consent and against her will.

Different types of rape such as statutory, non-statutory, incestuous and gang rape are prescribed with different punishments based on the seriousness of the crime.

The government’s effort to seriously curb the number of rape cases is clearly seen by strengthening and amending the law in 2013.

However, based on statistics given by Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM), rape cases are still reported at an alarming rate, and the adequacy and suffienciency of the present rape law is being questioned.

Accordingly, this book discussed rape law from the Shariah perspective with the purpose of suggesting its harmonisation with Shariah as an improvement.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the law and Shariah are in tandem, a suggestion of harmonisation on these aspects has been proposed.

It is hoped that this book will contribute to a better Malaysian rape law in safeguarding the welfare of society and protecting the honor and lineage (hifz al-ʽird wa hifz al-nasl) as outlined in the Shariah objectives (maqasid al-shariah).
