The ruler of an Islamic state may impose other penalties for crimes as deemed necessary if they are not explicitly spelled out in the Qur'an or Hadith, so this would seem to be one of those cases.

Im wondering the same question, surely killing your own children is a bigger sin then killing any tom, john and harry. Murder of innocent children is wicked and deserves punishment InShAllah otherwise this crime will not stop. Inexcusable

I doubt that people who do this are doing so because they are aware of the Shafi'i ruling on the matter, but more likely do so out of twisted concepts of pride and honor that are given more importance than one's Iman.

Also, we must not forget that just because there is not an earthly punishment prescribed for a sin does not mean that there will be no accountability for it on the Day of Judgment.
