Suicide: Seemed the ONLY Way Out of Marrying Her Rapist

I am always so inspired by women who fight policy and absurd laws...but ENRAGED every time I hear about things like this.
 I found this article http://english.alarabiya.net/articles/2012/03/14/200577.html a few weeks back.  The story is of a Moroccan girl, Amina Filali who was 16 years old.  She was raped and when her parents pressed charges, they were told she would have to marry her rapist to uphold the "honor" of her family.  The fact is, this is an actual archaic law that holds if a man rapes a woman, but marries her, he is not liable for the crime. She then had to marry him, went to live with him and his family, was raped again, and starved and beaten.  She felt her last resort was to kill herself and she did.  Women of the region have taken to protesting the law (http://english.alarabiya.net/articles/2012/03/17/201337.htm), trying to enact change and have the law abolished.

The "backwardness" of the law is that they say it is meant to "safeguard the honor of girls who are raped", but all it does is cause them to be more dishonored when the state is blaming the victim and then in essence, punishing HER by making her live with her rapist! Now she is forever at his mercy (because she cannot divorce him) and will be raped again!
The more I continue to read about the injustice of girls and women globally the more I am disgusted about the 'who-is-wearing-what /who-is-dating-who' "news" of the U.S....... girls and women are dying because of patriarchal laws and the devaluation of women....this is NOT OK!!
