Staying out of jail

Every country has at least one weird law related to sex.  In Morocco rapists can avoid jail if they marry the person they raped.  The one raped has no say in the matter.  If a judge rules that the raper is entitled to avoid jail, then attacker and victim become one.

At least one victim did not want to marry her attacker. She decided her only way out was to commit suicide.  So, she ate rat poison.  She was 16 years old, he was 26.
