What is the punishment for accusing an honorable woman of adultery without bringing four witnesses?


Eighty lashes

(Unless they say ther're sorry afterwards and make amends.)

Those who accuse honourable women but bring not four witnesses, scourge them (with) eighty stripes and never (afterward) accept their testimony - They indeed are evil-doers. Save those who afterward repent and make amends. (For such) lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. Quran 24:4-5
