In the Ottoman Empire (XV-XVII. centuries), the punishment of adultery crime in the context of law book and its analysis in Islamic law

Since the Ottoman Empire is a State governed by religious rules, there are some savings that Islamic law has given to the state manager. The foundation at the formation of the customary law, which we call is the authority that sharia recognizes to the president. He Sultans of the Ottoman Empire, in the framework of this authority recognized by Islamic law, have made arrangements in many areas. They also, announced these arrangements to the public in a regular manner. Many law arrangements were made from the Ottoman Empire's foundation to its collapse but we have narrowed the subject to deal with the laws published only between XV-XVII. Centuries. The Ottoman state also regulated the articles on the crime of adultery. In the absence of conditions in this context, the perpetrator of the crime of adultery is punished with fine. In Islamic law, the punishment of adultery is forbidden as a punishment of stoning, stick or exile; the appreciation of the fine as tazir in the Ottoman state laws prompted us to do such a duty.
