=== Comments on Shakti Mill Rape Case === | === Comments on Shakti Mill Rape Case === | ||
In 2013, on the Shakti Mill Rape Case, Azmi told [[Mid Day]], "Any woman if, whether married or unmarried, goes along with a man, with or without her consent, should be hanged. Rape is punishable by hanging in Islam. But here, nothing happens to women, only to men. Even the woman is guilty. Girls complain when someone touches them, and even when someone doesn't touch them. It becomes a problem then ... If rape happens with or without consent, it should be punished as prescribed in Islam." He also said, "See, I don't know what context he said it in. But, at times, the wrong people are awarded the death penalty. Boys do it in josh (Hindi: excitement), but what can I say in this? The death sentence should be given. I won't speak against Islam."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.mid-day.com/articles/shocking-women-having-sex-should-be-hanged-says-abu-azmi/15222050|title=SHOCKING!
