Hadd for a person that was raped
Question
1. If a woman got raped by a man and it's proven Islamically, would she also be punished? If not then what would be the punishment of the man.
2. Does Islam recognize the concept of woman raping a man, for example if she tied his limbs and had intercourse with him. And it was proven that it did happen. Will the man be punished as well? If not then what will be the punishment for the woman?
Answer
If she was coerced in the sin against her will, she will not be sinful and she will not be given hadd.
As above.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
