I read a lot of rape cases in the newspapers in Pakistan. Also i head a lot of rape cases in Arab countries in Saudi Arabia specially with children. In UK and USA also there are lot.
Some people says that in Islamic countries its more because they are not so open in mixing with women. Indians are also blaming Muslim countries.
But i know that it is more in non Muslim countries.
Can any body make a ration analysis of this crime. Where it is more whether in open society or so called closed society.
i think it depends on whether it is reported or not. i know that in pakistan, most of the time rape is probably not reported due to social implications so there is no way of knowing how common it is.
moreover, i think there is no way of knowing if it happens more in open or closed societies and personally i don't think it should matter because it is wrong in any case.
having said that, I think in Pakistan and muslim countries rape may be for sexual motives since it is forbidden to practice it outside of a marriage, but also men seem to rape sisters/females to get revenge on their enemies in pakistan and similar areas like india, which is rarely the case in the west.
india is not any different from pakistan. in their society sex isn't practiced outside of marriage either.
also i think rape would be less common in the west not because people practice sex more freely, because the punishment for it is very severe compared to countries like pakistan or india.
