Under Sharia law, rape can only be proven if the rapist confesses or if there are four male witnesses.  Women who allege rape without the benefit of the act having been witnessed by four men (who presumably develop a conscience afterwards) are actually confessing to having sex.  If they or the accused happens to be married, then it is considered to be adultery(see above)<ref>https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/quran/rape-adultery.aspx</ref>.

Rape of Muslim women is against Sharia law - '''although the rape of non-Muslim women is allowed''', if they are captured in battle(kidnapped) or bought as slaves.  Technically, a Muslim woman can be raped if she is a slave who converted to Islam after her capture.
