I have mixed feelings about your post leo. While I agrees that girls do cry rape WAY too often and often falsely, I don't see what marriage or paying tham have to do with it. Or even punishing them for having sex. A better way to fix this scenario would be for the woman to get the same punishment the alleged offender would get if they found out by some chance that she had fabricated the story. This would stop a lot of the lies.
Allah says in the Holy Quran for the woman to lower her gaze and to cover herself, it is then defined who she does not have to cover in front of and is free to dress in a modest way, namely any male relative who she would not be able to marry. She is further told in another chapter to cover herself when going outside of her house. Both of these references can be found in chapters 24:31 called Surah (meaning chapter) An-Nur and in chapter 33:59, Surah Al-Ahzab.
What is interesting is that it is not the Muslim women themselves who are complaining about their covering. Many of our new sisters to Islam in the United States and Europe have stated time and again how protected and modest they feel when going outside and have notice that those men in which they need to interact with, even though they are not Muslims usually treat them with respect and dignity. The Muslim woman's covering also affords her protection from men and by men.
Many Muslim women look upon the modern sexy, tight fitting and short clothing of the non-Muslim woman as being vulgar and sleazy. She finds it hard to understand why a woman would have such low self esteem as to want to appeal to any mans eyes other than her husbands. Or to have many sex partners when virginity and modesty are the highest thing that any woman, Muslim or not, can bestow upon her husband. She can't understand why the men in the family (fathers, husbands or brothers) would allow and even approve of the women in his family whom he should be protecting, to go outside the house, to say nothing of going to school or work with such little clothes to cover their body.
And then to be shocked or surprised when the woman or girl is raped!

The Muslim woman is not forced into marriage contrary to popular opinion. It is her right to say no if she does not wish to marry a certain man. It is also her right to seek a divorce, in some countries there is a problem about this, it must be noted that it is the country that has the problem not Islam. The woman has had this right in Islam for the last 1427 years, where as the Western and European countries have emancipated women in this area only in the last 150 years!!!.
i am muslim woman have 2 girls and married to very kind and loving husband there is not bad language between us as i see in american movies i even can not say to him u r stuped out of respect not fear and he also can not say any word which may upset me and if he do he will come and say sory .. of course there is not hitting .. in our country we rarely hear about man hit his wife .
i finished collage since 3 years and i am not working , my husband gave me the choice if i want to work or not but i dont want to work i want to be free to rais my daughters the best way .. if we need mony i well work to help my husband but he is an engineerer his sallery around 15,000 per month i live like a princess no body insult me no body can force me to work no body can hit me i can walk alone in a dark street with out fear to be raped because all of us are frightened from God who can see u any where any time not frightened from polis or FBI
we can sleep while the door of our house is open no fear to be stollen or killed saudi arabia is the most beaceful country around the world ..
but the terrorests (who are considered in saudi arabia as criminals ) made us ugly & evil & killers but we are not we hate terrorests they represent them selves not islam , if u come to saudi arabia u will be shoked by the sciene of people , cities , mosques , hospitals , schools , collages ,culture ..the sciene which is oppeset of how ur media represent it.
And you beleive that!?
Hiding every trace of sexuality is now supposed to be the ultimate in sluttiness!
Fine! So what's keeping every Western Woman from now diving down to this newly discovered depth of depravity? Are they waiting for Madonna to do it first?

as opposed to a command from a man (such as yourself) who also follows a similar system
- I find it amusing that here is a woman saying she is doing something because it is an instruction from god and suddenly she is swarmed by men telling her to do otherwise because it is actually a command from man she is following - so in other words she is doomed either way, with or without the burka, to follow the commands of men?
How many muslim countries have you been to?
regarding the bold
For a theist, scripture fulfills such a requirement
regarding the italics
and what evidence do we have that your gender values will not meet similar consignments to posterity?
Suckers. Unbelievable!
Muslim:
Why don't you stop invading our nations?
Stop trying to get more foreigners to come in when you yourself are barely here and identify yourself more as a "Paki" and a "Moslem" than a subject of the United Kingdom?
Why don't you go back from whence you came instead of mooch off our nations and corrupt our cultures?
If you want a Moslem wife, why don't you go back to Pakistan? If you want to be amongst your people, why don't you go back to them?
Do you even consider yourself British? Do you practice any British customs? Do you value British historical and cultural figures?

Kendall,
Hence why I say everyone should convert to Islam. It tells you to be good all the time.
