Expert: Victim-rapist marriage rewards rapist, punishes victim

PETALING JAYA: A rapist-victim marriage legitimises rape by rewarding rapists and providing them with more opportunities for rape, says a criminology expert.

"The marriage does not benefit the victim in any way, and those who say the opposite are using cognitive distortions (or a biased way of thinking) to justify further victimisation," Dr Geshina Ayu Mat Saat told The Star Online.
