From her point of view, this is completely unjust, and she's being sentenced to a life with this awful man for a crime she never committed.how does that differ from a marriage she did not want to enter into?
Quote:Of course, it was a bunch of patriarchal goatfuckers that made up these laws, so it stands to reason that all empathy for the fate of the woman was removed from the equation.How would you think these women 'feel' being called 'goats?'
Quote:My question stands, Drich. Even if your daughter's rapist paid you an inordinate amount of money, perhaps more than you can possibly spend in 100 lifetimes, would you still feel it justified to marry your daughter for life to the man that raped her?as apposed to what? her getting raped and getting nothing more than the satasifaction of knowing that some body gets to spend the next 10 years in jail at tax payers expense?
It completely depends on how the soceity I live in decides to punish the rapist.
eitherway in your senerio my Daughter gets raped. My only recouse as a law abiding citizen is to go with what my soceity allows for this situation.
