    CW: Rape

    I think you could argue that these people view rape not as a violation of autonomy but as property damage. Because they view their children as their property and women who have sex outside of marriage to be "damaged", which is why they force victims of rape to marry the rapist to "fix" the damage. It also explains why they get whipped up in a murderous rage by cases of rape (supposedly) carried out by non-white or queer people, since they view interracial/queer marriage to be even more shameful, so they cannot "fix" the damage. Whereas when it's carried out by a "respectable" white man they can just cover it up.
