 ==Qur'an==
-There is no equivalent term for ‘[[rape]]’ in the [[Qur'an]]. Likewise, there is not a single verse in the Qur'an which even remotely discourages forced sex. In contrast, there are several verses in this book which give the green light to rape and other sexual crimes against [[Islam and Women|women]].
 [[Surah]] [[The Holy Qur'an: An-Nisa (Women)|an-Nisa]] discusses lawful and forbidden women for pious Muslims. Before we delve into the particular verse, it should be noted that it is not easy to understand what is being suggested using the verse alone. Therefore, relying on authoritative [[Tafsir]]s (Qur'an interpretations) and [[Sahih]] (authentic) [[Hadith]]s associated with it, are necessary to get the exact picture.
