I can't remember the title but that's pretty much the same plot as the first english romance novel ever written.
It "makes sense" considering the honor-shame society the story was created for. A pure, pious woman is pitted against a shameful, violent man. The central motif is the radiant woman purifying the shameful man who converts (to Christianity) and courts the woman according to social norms instead of violently raping her. This is framed as a good ending because his shame is removed.
If you value innocence over honor this is completely incomprehensible. The guilt is still there, it was never accounted for.
Edit: Oh, and Marry-your-rapist-laws were and are still more common than you might know. Even if countries that don't have one, individual courts may still decide that way.

Turkey's rape-marriage law was repealed in 2005, as part of efforts to join the European Union. In November 2016, a government plan to reinstate the law and exonerate around 3,000 rapists by having them marry their victims was cancelled due to mass protests.
You break it, you buy it. Children and women are property to alot of people and some governments
I've recently watched a lecture by Graeber about dowry and bride pricing, and yeah I get where these laws come from
But to keep them until 2018 is wild
The first English romance novel (I had to look it up): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pamela;_or,_Virtue_Rewarded
It was not without criticism in its day...for mentioning sex and approving of class mixing.
Every war really is a class war?
I still find it amusing how much of a taboo sex used to be
God I love social progress. Looking forward to when I can frown at how puritan the 2000-2030s were
We're going backwards. If Gen Alpha pushes social norms around sex backwards at the same rate Gen Z has, then kids in High School in 2060 will be getting detention for their slutty capris showing off their wicked ankles. If the Genzers don't manage to bring back Scarlet Letters first.
It's called [Pamela] (https://blog.smu.edu/smulibraries/2024/02/13/pamela-and-the-early-origins-of-the-romance-novel/)
