Honestly, I don't know what to say. Even in modern countries such as the UAE, sexism is still prevalent in the justice system and ingrained in society. How is it a woman's fault if a man forcibly has sex with her? I don't know why there isn't a bigger outcry from Women's Rights Activists about this.
