Keywords:

This paper deals with the delicts of adultery and fornication. It presents rules related to this
delict by referring to the individual pieces of regulation valid within the geographic area of our country
and pointing out similarities with rules applicable for these delicts in the Islamic law, especially focusing
on the possibility to punish – whether it is capital punishment, lashing or exile. While in our geographical
region criminal prosecution has been completely abandoned, the traditional Islamic law still contains
these punishments.
