- It was a different timeβ¦
/s if not obvious
I guess most families are similar after all.
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.
In 2018, Greece repealed article 339 (3), which allowed marriage as a permissible settlement for "seduction" of a child.

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.
How I despise all those backwards inbred rednecks all around the world, no matter the country.
If we could just eradicate religion and replace it with education, that would be a start...
Isn't this also a rule in the bible?
Eta: yup
Deut. 22:28-29
If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered,Β he shall pay her father fifty shekelsΒ of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.
Which book?
Edit: thanks. Saw it answered above also.
Ultra-conservative Indians man. They're a certain type of fucked up.
Exactly, this kind of narrative is propaganda intended to make rape victims give up resistance.
In some regards India is several ~~centuries~~ decades behind most of the rest of the world. Especially with regards to women's rights. Though if I recall correctly forcing a victim to marry her rapist is also a Christian/Jewish thing.
forcing a victim to marry her rapist is also a Christian/Jewish thing.
It's literally done in America today and used to justify having the legal age of marriage be under 18 in some states.
I did not know that, but for some states it doesn't really surprise me
Centuries?
You're right. As a millennial I sometimes find it hard to realize that it was that bad here as well only quite a short time before I was born.
That affords people a level of planning I think is overly charitable.
I know it goes against the circlejerk in some progressive communities, but most rich conservative media owners did not get to their position by lacking brainpower, their shortcomings tend to be more in the morals and/or empathy regions.
I just think generally this kind of "propaganda" is produced because it reflects a well-entrenched view people genuinely hold. It's like asserting that minstrel shows were produced as propaganda to keep black people subjugated by making people think black people are inferior. I think it's much simpler than that - the people who commissioned such things were racist, so they made shows which depicted black people poorly. That had the effect of perpetuating racism, but it's a stretch to say the perpetuation of racism was the motivation, rather than the enactment of racism.
Same here, as I see it. The people who make such things are misogynists who believe in misogynist practices, so they make films which reflect those practices. I don't see where there's evidence for a conscious choice to do more than that.
Though if I recall correctly forcing a victim to marry her rapist is also a Christian/Jewish thing.
Wat?
I looked it up for you.
If a man finds a virgin who is not pledged in marriage, and he seizes her and sleeps with her, and they are discovered, then the man who lay with her must pay the young womanβs father fifty shekels of silver and she must become his wife, because he has violated her. He may never divorce her as long as he lives.
Thanks! Last book of the Torah/Old Testament. Messed up standard to set, at the least.
"She calls it 'mayonegg'."
Who?
Such a classic scene
Yeah, India has some cultural issues, to say the least. Very, very strange place.
Big country
True, but this is a very widespread issue in most of the country
Of course, it is classified as "Romance"...
eyetwitch what the fuck
"If a girl losing virginity before marriage and marrying someone else is normal, then why not a girl falling in love with someone who raped her"
The first thing that comes to mind is because women are fucking human beings and not objects whose value is inversely proportional to how much dick she's taken.
What a day to have eyes π¨
I can understand you are a feminist

Is it me, or can anybody else tell from the tone where the guy was jerking while writing the review?
Euthanasia could solve this problem. Disgusting waste of human "intelligence"
What the actual fuck
Why does this remind me of the same BS logic of The Comedian and Silk Spectre from The Watchmen?
