Not really.... In all islamic countries, if a woman is raped.. She must gather at least 4 witness to open a judgment....
I don't think this is the case in
all Islamic countries, but it is for some, that implement a particularly extreme interpretation of Sharia. For instance, in a number of states in northern Nigeria, a woman can be stoned to death for having sex out of wedlock, even if she was raped. Under this law, pregnancy is sufficient evidence to convict an unmarried woman of the crime. However, the oath of a man who denies having had sex with a woman out of wedlock is often considered sufficient proof of "innocence" unless four independent and reputable witnesses testify to seeing him take part in the act.
An example was the case of Amina Lawal, in 2003. See Nigerian spared death by stoning.

Her conviction was overturned on appeal, in part for the truly
bizarre reason that, "under some interpretations of Sharia, babies can remain in gestation in a mother's womb for five years, raising the possibility that her ex-husband could have fathered the child."
