Ancient religious scripture decreed the punishment of rape in the following ways: Married women would be killed, along with their attackers. Engaged women who did not "cry out" in fear would be stoned to death with their attackers, while those who did "cry out" would be spared-their attackers put to death. The rapists of single virgins would be forced into marriage with the women that they had "dishonored" and forbidden from ever divorcing them.
In ancient Roman law, and later, in 1600s Common Law of England, governments considered women the property of men and routinely implicated female rape victims in their own victimization. This treatment of female victims may call to mind a form of punishment. Female victims of rape experienced punishment just as if they were accomplices in their own attacks.
Some might argue that the remnants of such overt "victim blaming" still exist in the popular consciousness. As society has evolved, a paradigmatic shift has led the focus on protecting and supporting victims.
