Rape, also referred to as sexual assault, is an assault by a person involving sexual intercourse with or without sexual penetration of another person without that person's consent.
The gang rape of 18 year old girl behind carnival at Male is a indicator of what the society of 3.5 Lakh people lead into...
the drug addicts..
smoking and drugs among young girls...
non stop crime between youths...
no stringent laws to protect the society
no stringent laws to punish the criminals...
...could be the reason why the society is deterioriating among Maldivians.
Is street of Male' relatively safe for young women or a expat.. Nobody can give assurance. The reports of crime in maldives in papers usually shows good number of accountable cases. Thanks to the media and the demacracy.
Rising crime rates are the not because of modern society but society itself. Because society has no moral police. They can only flog the girl not the boy. They can catch the perpetrators of any sexual assault or violence in one street and free them in another street in thirty minutes. Maldives is the only place with weak police force without the capital punishment to the criminals. Its not islam and rape, its rape and stringent laws needed.
Does Islam permit rape? What is the status of women in Islam? And what does the Qur'an have to say about women?(1)
“If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice, two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive/slave) that your right hand possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice.” Qur'an 4:3.
“Your women are a tilth for you (to cultivate) so go to your tilth as ye will....” Qur'an 2:223.
“And all the married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives/slaves) whom your right hand possess....” Qur'an 4:24.
Rape is considered as second most crime for which capital punishment in Islam, which includes ...
Treason / Apostacy (when one leaves the faith and joins the enemy in fighting against the Muslim community)

Actual methods of capital punishment vary from place to place. In some Muslim countries, methods have included beheading, hanging, stoning, and firing squad. Executions are held publicly, to serve as warnings to would-be criminals. (2)
