Pakistan's national assembly has voted to amend the country's strict Sharia laws on rape and adultery.
Until now rape cases were dealt with in Sharia courts. Victims had to have four male witnesses to the crime - if not they faced prosecution for adultery.

yes shariah is practised incorrectly in many countries


Do the countries doing it wrong think so? Is there one authority on correct practice?

I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives.

you'd have to ask them- but if they're doing it I'd say not- although there may be people within the country who recognise it as wrong.

I don't know about a central authority on it- the orginal shariah law perhaps? or evidence from hadiths and the quran?

perhaps abu can answer that one

"ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Nov. 15 -- Pakistan's lower house of Parliament passed amendments to the country's rape laws Wednesday, ditching the death penalty for extramarital sex and revising a clause on making victims produce four witnesses to prove rape cases.

Consensual sex outside marriage would remain a crime punishable by five years in prison or a $165 fine, said a parliamentary official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters.

 
International and local calls for change intensified after the 2002 gang rape of Mukhtar Mai. A tribal council in her village in Punjab province ordered the rape as punishment for her 13-year-old brother's alleged affair with a woman of a higher caste.

The amendments enraged Islamic conservatives but won cautious support from human rights activists, who wanted the controversial laws scrapped altogether.

Pakistan's president, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, praised lawmakers for approving the amendments and criticized fundamentalists for their "unnecessary" opposition and their claims that his government was acting against Islam...."

another muslim country  that is unislamic, even though they say they are.
Same as Saudi.

I doubt Abu could lie straight in bed, let alone prove quotes from the hadith/koran.
