"Oh, and do you want to talk about rape culture? Women who are raped stand accused of adultery—and we already talked about the penalty for that . . . "

Some countries still force the victim to marry her rapist. I saw an article recently saying that over 40 countries have such laws on the books, though my searching just brings up a wikipedia article listing 18 countries, but it also listing a lot of coutries only recently repealed such laws, as well as noting that some places don't have laws about it per se, but that it's a commonly accepted practice, so.... yeah.
