Sahib e Qarama'at

This post is regarding the rape discussion in the story Sahib e Qaramat. Although the issue of rape is not much important compared to the major themes raised by minto but the confusion in our mind that can we call the sexual exploitation of those poor women an act of rape is rooted in our view about the rape as a physically forced sexual exploitation (Zina bil Jabar?) which is misleading because I think the term rape should not be limited to only physically forced exploitation because in any way the locus of control on victim’s self is manipulated. Moreover we should not in any way think of cognitive manipulation as less dangerous than physical one rather it’s more humiliating for the victim.
