Also, she should stop blaming herself or blaming God or her past, because the only person who deserves blame is the rapist. The girl has to be responsible for her own temperament and own actions from now on, and realise she is valuable and deserves a good life. The rapist hurt her in the past, but cannot hurt her anymore. She has to move on and enjoy life.
unfortunately thats easier said than done. also, if the girl is from a certain culture, lets take the middle eastern culture for example, its almost going to be impossible for her to speak up.
there was a story of a girl who was raped by two men here in dubai a while back and she had spoken up about it. the men were jailed, but the community shunned her. she became pregnant, and the poor girl committed suicide. allah esami7ha inshalla.
