  Ultra-conservative Indians man. They’re a certain type of fucked up.

    Exactly, this kind of narrative is propaganda intended to make rape victims give up resistance.

    In some regards India is several centuries behind most of the rest of the world. Especially with regards to women’s rights. Though if I recall correctly forcing a victim to marry her rapist is also a Christian/Jewish thing.

      forcing a victim to marry her rapist is also a Christian/Jewish thing.

      It’s literally done in America today and used to justify having the legal age of marriage be under 18 in some states.

      That affords people a level of planning I think is overly charitable.

  I can’t remember the title but that’s pretty much the same plot as the first english romance novel ever written.

  It “makes sense” considering the honor-shame society the story was created for. A pure, pious woman is pitted against a shameful, violent man. The central motif is the radiant woman purifying the shameful man who converts (to Christianity) and courts the woman according to social norms instead of violently raping her. This is framed as a good ending because his shame is removed.

  If you value innocence over honor this is completely incomprehensible. The guilt is still there, it was never accounted for.

    In 2018, Greece repealed article 339 (3), which allowed marriage as a permissible settlement for “seduction” of a child.

  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.

  • redparadise@lemmy.ml ⁨42⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

    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.

  I’m Pakistani. The subcontinent is super conservative. You have to remember the British rules over us for centuries and all our grandparents want to do is to imitate them.

  • Crashumbc@lemmy.world ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Pretty sure the rape marry thing and even forced child marriages predated the British.

    Not that the British weren’t complete evil shits, but I don’t think this one is on them.

    • thethrilloftime69@feddit.online ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I wasn’t blaming British, I was just trying to say that we believe very strongly in hierarchy. To the point where we aren’t even really that mad at our colonizers. This fits the culture.

  • drmoose@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Ah the good ol’ “everything is the fault of colonizers” deflection. Also it was not even a century that the area that is now Pakistan was ruled by British Empire - 98 years to be exact.

      Did you even read my comment? I didn’t blame the British (tho they deserve a ton of blame). I was criticizing my grandparents generation for not having enough outrage. My grandparents were born in India and had to leave during Partition.

      “If a girl losing virginity before marriage and marrying someone else is normal, then why not a girl falling in love with someone who raped her”
