Hudood Ord challenged |
2006-06-16 |
ISLAMABAD: Several sections of the Hudood Ordinance have been challenged in the Federal Shariat Court as "repugnant to Islamic injunctions and defaming Islam at the national and international level". The petition was filed on Thursday by Dr Aslam Khaki. The petition seeks the amendment or repeal of Sections 2(d), 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 of the ordinance, which deal with the offences of rape, adultery, theft, kidnapping and prostitution. |
