‘Marry your rapist’ laws in 20 countries still allow perpetrators to escape justice Sarah Johnson © Provided by The Guardian Photograph: Patrick Baz/Getty Twenty countries still allow rapists to marry their victims to escape criminal prosecution, according to the UN’s annual state of world population report.
