  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.

  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.

      Turkey’s rape-marriage law was repealed in 2005, as part of efforts to join the European Union. In November 2016, a government plan to reinstate the law and exonerate around 3,000 rapists by having them marry their victims was cancelled due to mass protests.

  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.

    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 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.

      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.
