Usually, women has become one of the hot topics that come to
news. A news may take more attention if the media presents the bad side of uncollated action of a
woman. Hot issues on women in which online media mostly post are on love affair, adultery and other
wrong-doings. The phrases are scattered in online media openly and can be accessed in just a few
seconds. On the other hand, the actors are generally Muslim and Islam teaches them to evaluate their
statement that may end at defamation. When the media activist blows up the uncertain news, for
example on an adultery accusation, but he is unable to present at least four witnesses who witnessed
the adultery (related to Islamic law), the media activists could be trapped in alleged adultery (hadd al-
qadzf).
