Islamic "jurisprudence."

From February 10, 1979 to November 17, 2006, Pakistan had legislation called the Hudood Ordinances. This had been introduced by Islamists during the rule of dictator Zia ul-Haq. Any woman who complained that she had been raped was obliged to provide four witnesses to the act. Failure to do so meant she would be charged with adultery, for which the maximum sentence was the death penalty and lashes.
Quickly. Is Islamic law something you naturally associate with procedures designed reliably to determine facts?

Is factual accuracy what the authors of this legislation were most concerned about?
