==Zina ordinance of Pakistan==
 
The Zina Ordinance of Pakistan prohibits sexual activities, including rape (''zina bil jabr''), considered religious offenses, subject to different standards of evidence and punishment and the appellate jurisdiction of Islamic higher courts but inconsistent rulings by the courts, and gender bias in the criminal justice system makes it extraordinarily difficult for rape victims to get justice and continues to leave them vulnerable to wrongful prosecution for adultery or fornication.<ref>{{cite encyclopedia|first=Elyse|last=Semerdjian|title=Zinah|encyclopedia=The Oxford Encyclopedia of the Islamic World|editor=John L.
