But you are right, I am glad that we live in the U.S.

Since obviously she did not create the baby by herself, what is, if any, the penalty for the man that impregnated her? He equally had a child either out of wedlock or via an extramarital affair. Is there an Islamic law that addresses that issue? I'm also curious to know the laws.
I'm also glad that I live in the U.S. Unwed mothers may be talked about and talked down on, but it certainly is not a cause for the death penalty.
