Bangladesh: Rape victims ostracized for being raped, often forced to marry their rapist By Robert Spencer

Rape of Minority Women in the Islamic Paradise of Bangladesh

Jihad Watch : This UCA News article doesn’t dare explain why women are “socially ostracized when they become victims of rape.”

The ostracism stems from Islamic assumptions derived from the hijab imperative: women must cover in order to remove temptation from men. If a man is tempted, whether the woman is covered or not, the fault lies with the woman, for not removing the temptation. If she is raped, the rape is therefore her fault. But she can remove the shame and dishonor she has brought upon herself by tempting a man to rape by marrying the rapist and thereby legitimizing everything he has done.

If the perpetrators get away this way, then more rape will happen in our society,” said Rita Roselin Costa, convener of the women’s desk at the Catholic bishops’ Laity Commission.
