Among other things, this Act provides that only male witnesses are judicious witnesses. It also provides that one way the offence of fornication may be proved when there are not witnesses is by the husband repeating his testimony as to the fact of adultery five times, on the fifth time calling for Allah to curse him if he is lying.
