Rape is a sexual assault! There is no sexual pleasure in it. Its all about force, power then suffering, screaming, terror etc from the victim. Any victim deserves to find someone who can marry and love them whatever their past.
Iggle's right and any man who says no or dumps a woman just for this reason isn't a real man imo.
My Mum was telling me about this campaign after the war in Bangladesh where there were thousands of raped women (some had gotten pregnant and some even kept their babies) and the Gov was encouraging men to marry these women as they were to be regarded as heroes. Just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes :(
If an individual is raped , its no fault of theirs , why should we denounce them for something that happened to them against their will. They are a victim , victims need love , assurance and immense kindness to be able to move on positively in life and leave behind any emotional and physical scarring.
I believe things like these should be discussed before the wedding so there are no surprises eventually after the wedding ... but knowing our culture and society , how many would consider marrying a rape victim? Therefore please forgive her , if she wasnt able to openly talk about it before the wedding.. but if indeed she was raped , she deserves your love and kindness to get over the ordeal rather then having to deal with your anger and rejection ..
Rape is a form of theivery..of killing... you kill the victim's innocence, their trust in people, esp if the rapist happened to be someone they knew...
unfortunately too many people are sadly misguided and think rape = sex
