System of Punishments in Islam

Stone age man was born free with some basic instincts, do sex, eat, sleep, lough and weep. Then it was the religion who control him religion derived the basic norms of society to bring some betterment and to control the basic greed and thril of man. Human history started from stone age and finally developed into civilized world with the help of religon, We have three big civilization of the world map, Egyptian, Mesopotimian and roman, Islamic civilazation came later on. In all civiliztions before Islam religion was a basic element in punishment system and in norms of society In Mesopotinion civilization the women  were hanged by breasts at the wall of forte if they do sex other than her husband( see hamurabi code of Law) In Egyption Faros made a steel underwear with lock to prevent woman from doing sex with others if still she manage to do it her vergina was filled with hot logs of fire and in roman civilization women was charged in court and death palenty was there.  Now the question is this if there was a Punishment in every civilization what was its need? and if we set everybody free to do sex what will happen Muslims and Christian scholars has unanimouly argued that free sex means destruction, shrinking of population, sextual deseases, sex abuses, psychological problems, premature sex, and disturbances in the society. Question is this you want to control that factors or not? if yes, then you have to device some legal  punishment system. What is Islamic concept leave it,  for western world it is more important that do they want to control free sex or not.  Islamic concept is more important for muslims becz we are the believers. Two things our Molivis forget and which have been mentioned by some intelectual scholars like Allam Iqbal and Sir syed Ahmad Khan, firstly, Quaran Pak is a legal moral and religious book for muslims till infinite period so we can derive different model of Islamic society and punishment systm as per our age requirments secondly, Quaran states  Maximum palenties but it is not necessary we practise maximum in our society. In the end Islamic punishments are for the betterment of muslims especially and for the rest of the world generally.
