I wonder.

If given the choice, how many men would choose to lose their leg as their punishment, and how many would choose to keep their leg but spend five years in jail for their punishment?

Which law is the more humane?

BTW, I don't think that under Sharia a woman can leave her husband even if he cuts her leg off. So she might be forced to go on living with him. Which woudl be an interesting relationship.
