Classic and cliche and I love it.

It's medieval.
Back then, rape was only a crime if the woman was already married (to somebody else).

Uh, no, it was punishable by death in France, but was usually fined or pardoned because it was pretty hard to get 100% proof

God forbid we let the couple that love each other have a consensual banging right author-san? heh

You have a source for that? Since every other one says it was a crime and punished severely across europe and had different stipulations in everywhere else. But it was never "not a crime unless married". Even early written laws have it as a crime. And most certainly not a thing you can pull in the middle of a settlement with literal law enforcement. Funnier part is, even the assailant expected to be hanged for it but knight was fine with it lol.

In the middle ages, much of the law was based on the bible, and there it said that if a man and woman have sex in a town (ie someplace where, in theory, if she called for help somebody would hear), then it is assumed to be consensual (ie she did not call for help).

Keep in mind that the determination of whether a woman could have called out was generally made by middle-aged men. They did not take into account that most rapes are not carried out by strangers, but by somebody the woman knew, and that there are other forms of coercion other than force that could be used.

And women could generally not advocate for themselves (because of cultural and legal restrictions).

So yes, rape was a crime, but if a woman was unmarried (ie without a man to initiate legal proceedings for the harm done to HIS wife) & raped in town, the chances of the man being convicted was almost zero.

Aren't you glad to be living in the 21st century?
