JFC, don't bring rape into this, unless your willing to concede that all rapists are psychopaths. (be careful here)

So do you get to say what is correct for them? Nope, you only get to say what is correct for you. Society as a whole gets to say what is correct for them (with in limits). It's called laws.

Don't know what else to tell you. I hold the position that morality is objective. I know that you don't agree with that.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
