Woman between Islam and world legislation

In Islamic law, should the wrongdoer show his truthful repentance before legal
action proceeds against him. he shall be forgiven. God said: "Except for those
who repent before they fall into your power; in that case, know that God is oft-
forgiving, most merciful" (V-37). And also:"As to the thief,male or female, cut off
his or her hand, a punishment by way of example, from God, for their crime, and
God is Exalted in power. But if the thief repents after his crime, and amends his
conduct.
