I’ve seen interviews of rapists justifying their actions in jail by saying they’ll marry her, the country is indeed 60% rural and unfortunately very backwards.

This is kind of something that actually happens (or at least used to happen) in India.
If a man rapes a woman, people say that he must marry the woman, because “her honour is ruined” or something, and nobody else will accept her as a wife.
I’m pretty sure this still happens in rural areas, where panchayat is the judge and jury.

It still happens in tier 1 cities even in rich families.
