Different only in setting and slight degree. “Insane” and “Primitive” are good descriptions.

“The victim of a sensational rape committed two years ago on Tuesday spurned her attacker’s offer to marry her to *atone for his sins*, saying she wanted to see him hanged.”
______________

A man rapes a woman, plucks her eye out, and then the court gives him legitimacy by allowing him to once again publicly humiliate his victim by asking for her hand in marriage to atone for *his* sins.

Even life under bush/cheney was not this bad (although close enough).

No other word seems to do justice to the situation.

A society with strong traditions and long-standing values – including religious one – is not necessarily going to treat rape victims ins specific or women in general more poorly than the the norm.
