It's what happens in virtually every country.The real figure is much higher. Rape is the most under-reported of violent crimes.. I've seen no credible evidence that behaviour is related to religious belief.

Quote:Under reporting
According to the American Medical Association (1995), sexual violence, and rape in particular, is considered the most under-reported violent crime.[4][5]
The most common reasons given by victims for not reporting rapes are the belief that it is a personal or private matter, and that they fear reprisal from the assailant. A 2007 government report in England says "Estimates from research suggest that between 75 and 95 per cent of rape crimes are never reported to the police."[6]
