YUSUFALI: The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication,- flog each of them with a hundred stripes: Let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day: and let a party of the Believers witness their punishment.
PICKTHAL: The adulterer and the adulteress, scourge ye each one of them (with) a hundred stripes. And let not pity for the twain withhold you from obedience to Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day. And let a party of believers witness their punishment.
SHAKIR: (As for) the fornicatress and the fornicator, flog each of them, (giving) a hundred stripes, and let not pity for them detain you in the matter of obedience to Allah, if you believe in Allah and the last day, and let a party of believers witness their chastisement.
Give them a hundred lashes each, and we can all move on!

I am all for reinterpreting the Koran according to existing UK legal principles
I have been campaigning for the legalisation of brothel-keeping for quite a while now.
Prostitution is not a dishonest trade.
Trapping a man into marrying you by getting pregnant is dishonest.
Impregnating a woman not your wife and then leaving her in the lurch also is.
There needs to be a systemic social reform to equalize the relationship between the genders. Going back to traditional is hardly possible, the only way is forward but it is very far.
It will be interesting to see how the coming economic hardships will affect gender relationships. It's possible that people will start needing each other again. Lots of fellas losing their jobs these days..
Presumably some Voice of Reason will prevail upon the parties and negotiate a mutually acceptable settlement.
