Thousands of years ago, if a girl wasn't a virgin, she was considered to be "damaged goods," even if she lost her virginity via rape. So unless the rapist married the girl, there was very little chance of her getting married. That is why after he raped her, Tamar felt further violated by him, when he spurned her. Damaged good is not the same thing as unable to get married. A general rule is if the girl is cute, childless, and unengaged, she’s getting married. heck David married at least two women who had sex before. It’s not even true that they were automatically damaged goods. As far as I can tell if an engaged girl was raped, she was still engaged because she did nothing wrong. This is King David’s daughter. She could have been the most popular hooker in the land and still get a husband. What she decides to do is a different story. Rape victims have those feelings all the time. It’s a horrible and traumatic experience and there probably weren’t a lot of rape counselors back then. Yes, but, the reason why Absolom killed Amnon was because of the fact that after he raped Tamar, he spurned her like she was a strumpet. He would not marry her, after he had violated her, & what was more, his father was not making him do so.

However I call into question the motion that they lived in a society where the woman is banned from marriage on the basis of being raped no matter how pretty or rich or nice they are. |
