Malik said, "The position with us about a woman who is found tobe pregnant and has no husband and she says, 'I was forced,' or shesays, 'I was married,' is that it is not accepted from her and thehadd is inflicted on her unless she has a clear proof of what sheclaims about the marriage or that she was forced or she comes bleedingif she was a virgin or she calls out for help so that someone comes toher and she is in that state or what resembles it of the situation inwhich the violation occurred." He said, "If she does not produce anyof those, the hadd is inflicted on her and what she claims of that isnot accepted from her."Malik said, "A raped woman cannotmarry until she has restored herself by three menstrual periods."He said, "If she doubts her periods, she does not marry until shehas freed herself of that doubt."
