The fact a woman was considered "dishonorable" for being raped is barbaric, though it sadly still exists in Western culture too (look at the assholes who talk about "legitimate rape&quot . It is good the culture is changing, but sad it took something like this. I know the Jews, even Orthodox ones, dropped the "sin" of being tattooed and cremated after the events of the Holocaust.
