We do not have a closed culture. We have a civilized culture. Closed culture is their's , where they have stopped seeing all ethical aspects being a human... let alone being a son, bro, father, husband, wife, sis, mother....n other relations.
Its not a liberal or open cutlure where you move around in markets with open chest and naked legs. its portrays the cave age when human was not civilzed enough to know how to dress up n cover his body. its in Quran to cover your bodies n protect your Sharam-Gahs (pvt parts).
What i call a liberal, open and advance culture is when you are advanced in technology, in education, when your life style is better than what ppl had 100s yrs back. Mere making you naked only shows how frustrated and mad you are at your birth.
As far as rape ratio is concerned.. cant provide that. but you should know these non-muslim socities take Rape and Non-marital relations as two diff things. for me both cause the same harm to society. so while discussing the ratio of rape in such places, we should combine the ratio of non-marital illegal relations and rape cases.
All we muslims need is to read, learn and understand our culture n religion.
You may not consider it a closed culture, but it is a highly patriarchal shame-based culture-- which is even more detrimental to women's safety.
Sexual morality in consideration of cultural dress differs in many societies. What is moral is decided upon by the people of that culture. You seek to judge another culture per the values of your own, when you fail to understand relativism. The world does not share in an objective moral standard pertaining to dress; it is highly subjective.
Rape and non-marital relations are most certainly two different things Non marital relations are consensual, rape is not. Rape is considered soul murder. It is the worst crime to commit on any person-- even worse than murder (as backed by Allah-- oppression is worse than death).
Do not ever attempt to combine consensual relations and rape. Rape is a pseudo sexual crime. The motivation for the crime is not sex, sex is merely the weapon because it is the most "potent," method of violating a person's being (physically and otherwise), and destroying them.
Rape has nothing to do with sex. You do a great disservice to victims when you compare the two.
