They may have done that thousands of years ago. They also had multiple wives, but today we have laws and morals and rapists are put in jail and women are not made to marry anyone they do not love.
Being a virgin is not a requirement to be a good person and women can fall in love and choose who they marry. So why go back too the time of some primitive society.
If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days. -- Deuteronomy 22:28-29
Probably better to force them take psychology courses
They'd just continue to do it over there...the stars know those people have enough to deal with.
Besides, do you remember the stories about those fringe Mormons who would move to remote places like Texas to establish a commune where they married 14 y.o's? Those people were Americans.
We just have to learn to deal with the crazies like that. At least we jail them...
edit: That's right...the OT does say that's the 'punishment' for the crime...the perp & the girl have to marry
