Law does not reflect culture

Apparently, there is some disparity between the Islamic restrictions, called "hudud", and some of the present values of today's society.

Some issues in current discussion in Malaysia are:

• Hudud punishes petty crime as theft severely, but does nothing about corporate corruption
• It allows polygamy and discrimination against women in contexts frowned upon by present culture;
• It disqualifies a good majority of people from being witnesses to crime;
• It does not leave room for repentance;
• They perceive temples to be idols and do not live peacefully with other religion;
• They go against the doctors' code of conduct with regards to amputations, etc.

 I wonder if the "hudud" is open subject to interpretation the way the "fatwa" is.

What do you understand?  Would "hudud" bring society back into the dark ages?  Would that be good for society, or bad?

Does value change over time?  Should it change?

Is there an absolute right and wrong?  Is that in the form of "hudud" or something else?

Which laws are in accordance with God's ideals, and not human abuse of power in the systems?  Is there one?
