The Hudud laws

Talking about the woman drivers being punished just for their being the wrong sex, I think it just ridiculous to the extreme. Are they not aware that if they engage male drivers, they may be attacked by male drivers and they would normally be condemned as adulterous because it is very hard to prove rape which requires many eye-witnesses on the spot. It is also against human rights and proper ethics of social behaviour in imposing such discriminating laws. Are we still living in the middle ages? I believe there must be many people in the Muslim countries around the world who would not condone such archaic laws . To be silent on such matters is equal to collaborators in such oppressive acts.
