    Wouldn’t they like to marry the girl to her rapist, because sex outside of marriage is a sin or something?

      Not in a monogamous society. Rapists don’t want to get tied down to only a single child wife. Also, there’s no dowry in our society for the rapist to take the burden of raising the girl off the parents’ hands.
