Ultra-conservative Indians man. They're a certain type of fucked up.
I believe it's in the Christian Bible too.
All religion is mental illness.

And people wonder why they like to pal around with American conservatives.
Exactly, this kind of narrative is propaganda intended to make rape victims give up resistance.
In some regards India is several ~~centuries~~ decades 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.
Yeah, most parts of our country are really fked... I live in a decent little state called Kerala, but yeah, we're one of the exceptions, not the norm.
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 did not know that, but for some states it doesn't really surprise me
Centuries?
You're right. As a millennial I sometimes find it hard to realize that it was that bad here as well only quite a short time before I was born.

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.
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.
It seems likely you would enjoy Lost Girls and Love Hotels.
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.
Edit: Oh, and Marry-your-rapist-laws were and are still more common than you might know. Even if countries that don't have one, individual courts may still decide that way.
In 2018, Greece repealed article 339 (3), which allowed marriage as a permissible settlement for "seduction" of a child.
ππ€―
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.

The first English romance novel (I had to look it up): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pamela;_or,_Virtue_Rewarded
It was not without criticism in its day...for mentioning sex and approving of class mixing.

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.

PTSD from reddit larpers made me vibe check your account lmao.
spoiler
You passed
Hell yeah dude. I have reddit ptsd too but I try my best to keep it 100.
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.
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.

tragically everything except the last part happens quite regularly in certain countries
Isn't this also a rule in the bible?
Eta: yup
Deut. 22:28-29
If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered,Β he shall pay her father fifty shekelsΒ of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.
The "and they are discovered" is extra icing on this shit cake.

How I despise all those backwards inbred rednecks all around the world, no matter the country.
If we could just eradicate religion and replace it with education, that would be a start...

Fuck sex-offender registries, these people should be watched
"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"
The first thing that comes to mind is because women are fucking human beings and not objects whose value is inversely proportional to how much dick she's taken.
