One of the misconceptions about Islam is that a rape victim gets punished, while the rapist gets unpunished and can walk away free. It is assumed by some that men in Islam can commit rape with impunity.

[2] In the following case is of a slave where she was forced to have sexual relations with a man. The criminal was punished, and the victim let go:
“A slave woman who had been forced by a slave man to commit Zina (adultery) were brought to Umar. He beat the man and did not beat the woman.”(Al-Sunan al-Kubra, by al-Bayhaqi, volume 8, page 35. See also, al-Mughni, volume 12, page 217)
[3] A woman was sleeping when she woke up to find out that a man was on top of her. She was let go, since she was innocent:
“A woman who had committed Zina (adultery) was brought to Umar and she said: ‘I was sleeping and when I woke up there was a man on top of me.’ He let her go and did not beat her.” (Al-Sunan al-Kubra, volume 8, page 236. See also, al-Mughni, volume 12, page 218)
[4] Here is a case with Abu Bakr Siddique the first Caliph of Islam, 1400 years ago how he dealt with a rapist and the victim:

أخبرنا عبد الرزاق قال : أخبرنا عبيد الله بن عمر ، عن نافع قال جاء رجل إلى أبي بكر فذكر له ، أن ضيفا له افتض أخته استكرهها على نفسها ، فسأله فاعترف بذلك ، فضربه أبو بكر الحد ، ونفاه سنة إلى فدك ، ولم يضربها ، ولم ينفها لأنه استكرهها ، ثم زوجها إياه أبو بكر ، وأدخله عليها

“A man came to Abu Bakr and told him that one of his guests had coerced, and deflowered his sister. The man was asked about that, and confessed to it. Abu Bakr flogged him with the hadd, and banished him for a year to Fadak.

And he did not flog or banish her, because she was forced.” (Musannaf Abd al-Razzaq, by Abd al-Razzaq al-Sanani (d. 826 CE), Hadith number, 12796, online source, https://library.islamweb.net/NewLibrary/display_book.php?bk_no=73&ID=1476&idfrom=12219&idto=12238&bookid=73&startno=10 )
[5] An incident in Umar Ibn al-Khattab’s lifetime:

“Narrated by Ibn Umar that a man was brought to Umar ibn al-Khattab (the second caliph of Islam) , who forced a woman to be involved in fornication with him (i.e. raped her). He (`Umar) said: “It is not for this that we have a (peace) treaty with you people! ‟ And he commanded that he was (to be crucified) and he was crucified in Baytul-Maqdas (Jerusalem).” (Mussanaf – Ibn Abi Shaybah volume 11, page 85, Grade, Hasan)
