History Main / DefiledForever

* Averted -brilliantly- in the WickedLovely series- Ink Exchange is, when you take out the faeries and magickal tattoos, about Leslie reclaiming her life and body after being raped.

** Quite a lot of victims of divine rape in Greek mythology were transformed or blasted by gods who were angry but couldn't take it out on the divine partner. Athena cursed Medusa because she was meant to remain a virgin as a priestess of Athena (and the act was in Athena's temple); Hera cursed many of Zeus' lovers (some of whom shuld be deemed rape victims).

* In the old testament of TheBible, there are many harsch rules regarding purity and defilement. This includes a death penalty for anyone who have had sex without being married - including rapevictims, unless a witness can testify that he heard her scream for help.

** Same with Niall, as evidenced by his comments to Leslie about ow they're survivors, although in his case he would have been DefiledForever by mortal standards, but 1200 years is along time to get over things.

* Played tearfully straight in ''Scar Tissue'' where Asuka was determined to completely destroy Shinji's life. A few months after Third Impact, she got the right (?) idea: [[spoiler:she barged into his room when they were alone at home and "pants off, bastard"]]. What's tearful in this? Shinji was crying through the whole thing but didn't resist and didn't tell anyone that [[spoiler:he was being raped repeatedly for six months]] because he really believed that he deserves this (though that didn't prevent him from [[spoiler:''[[HighOctaneNightmareFuel carving "MY FAULT" in kanji into his chest with a knife]] once Asuka was done'']]). To top it all off? Those who saw ''End of Evangelion'' know that '''neither of them acted out of character'''. The perfect subversion of RapeIsOkWhenItIsFemaleOnMale?

* The book ''I Choose Life'' is pretty much an AuthorTract against this trope. The main character (who is also the writer) was kidnapped as a child - molested, tortured and almost murdered. Afterwards one of her main problems was with people trying to make this trauma her new permanent identity rather then something horrible that happened to her and is now over.

* The myth of {{Medusa}} has her getting raped by Poseidon, then, as punishment for being so tempting, she's transformed into a gorgon.

The creepy idea that if a person has ever been the victim of some kind of sexual violation, then her life is destroyed forever. Lifelong depression is mandatory. Since this worldview isn't all that keen on [[SafeSaneAndConsensual consent]], it doesn't always make any distinction between rape and consensual sex: An unmarried woman having consensual sex can be considered Violated and DefiledForever, on the basis that it was her "purity" that got violated, not her rights and boundaries.

* Some books of TheBible, plays this straight while others avert it. In some places there are rules that say that rape-victims should be stoned to death if they didn't fight back hard enough, that married couples should be exterminated from their people if they have sex while she's menstruating, and so on. On the other hand, Moses declares that if a man rapes a woman he is to be stoned to death. He explicitly states that the woman is not to be harmed, because it was not her fault, and she's still innocent. On the contradiction side we also have the scene the scene where Jesus urge people to not throw the first stone since they are not without sin themselves. (Keep in mind that TheBible is a collection of different books, written in different times by different authors. It contains all kinds of ideas, [[TheGoldenRule awesome]] as well as horrible.)

* In FushigiYugi, it is apparently the preferred major tactical strategy of the forces of Seiryuu Star Warriors in neutralizing their rival forces of the Suzaku Star Warriors by raping/seducing their Celestial Maiden, and thus preventing her from summoning the patron god Suzaku (who required VirginPower) who could then battle their patron god Seiryuu. Also used as a ploy into tricking their own Celestial Maiden into joining their side in the first place by turning on her best friend (who was the other CM).
** The BigBad however, is a relatively uncommon male example of this trope, as it is later revealed to be what originally caused his StartOfDarkness.
** Also invoked in ''FushigiYuugiGenbuKaiden'', when Takiko discovers that the girl she helped is one of her celestial warriors...and doesn't stay a girl all the time. Takiko was very shocked when she woke up with a man in her bed, and freaked out, saying that she'd never be able to marry.
* In [[{{hayate the combat butler}} Hayate no Gotoku]], two characters react this way to the 'threat' of being touched this way. When they complain about this, neither character would have an inkling of a thought of doing something inappropriate, so it's able to be played for humor.
** Saki is worried about being seen as this whenever Hayate touches her.
** Hinagiku thinks she has been defiled and bemoans that she can't be someone's bride anymore when Ayumu drys her off after she faints in the hot springs. Ayumu says she'll still take her, and when reminded of her crush on Hayate, she suggests {{Polyamory}}.
* In KOn, the extremely timid Mio sobs, "No one will marry me now!" after tripping onstage and giving the audience a PantyShot...and also after being forcibly stripped and put in a skimpy outfit [[HaruhiSuzumiya Mikuru]]-style.
* For that matter, PlayedForLaughs in ''Melancholy'' when Mikuru makes Kyon promise to marry her if she's "ruined" by Haruhi.

* Averted in some books of TheBible, played straight in others. Moses declares that if a man rapes a woman he is to be stoned to death. He explicitly states that the woman is not to be harmed, because it was not her fault, and she's still innocent. Elsewhere, when married women raped in a city are killed along with their rapist for not crying out. The idea seems to be that if she did not scream she must have wanted it. Contradicted yet elsewhere, by the scene where Jesus urge people to not throw the first stone since they are not without sin themselves. (Keep in mind that TheBible is a collection of different books, written in different times by different authors. It contains all kinds of ideas, [[TheGoldenRule awesome]] as well as horrible.)

At the core, this trope is a leftover from a worldview that is thankfully fading into ValuesDissonance as civilization marches on. A matter of HonorBeforeReason in a mindset where [[DoubleStandard only men]] [[UpToEleven have]] honor, and the chastity (or faithfulness, if they're married) of the women they own ''is'' a large part of this honor.

Sadly, this mentality is still [[HonorRelatedAbuse fully operational]] in some ultra-conservative families and societies. In a number of underdeveloped countries, women (as well as some girls too young to even ''be'' women) have been stoned to death for being raped.

* Ironically, averted in TheBible, of all places. Moses declares that if a man rapes a woman he is to be stoned to death. He explicitly states that the woman is not to be harmed, because it was not her fault, and she's still innocent.

Needless to say, people criticizing the Bible with misogyny would prefer you not knowing about this.

* [[JohannWolfgangVonGoethe Goethe]] [[PlayingWithATrope plays with this]] in ''{{Faust}}''. Margaret/Gretchen starts off as the typical PuritySue / ShallowLoveInterest popular in Goethe's time. Rumors spread when Faust knocks her up and Gretchen's KnightTemplarBigBrother Valentino decides to kill her "defiler". He attacks Faust and Mephistopheles at her doorstep and promptly gets [[CurbStompBattle Curb Stomped]]. As he dies, Valentino [[HonorRelatedAbuse spews abuse at his sister]], setting off Gretchen's personal TraumaCongaLine which [[BreakTheCutie breaks]] [[FreakOut the]] [[DrivenToMadness girl]] [[HeroicBSOD completely]]. By the time Faust returns, he finds her [[TheOphelia insane]] and imprisoned for having [[DespairEventHorizon drowned their child in shame]]. She no longer recognizes Faust and refuses to leave, DyingAlone [[TearJerker in the cold and dark]]. Goethe does, however, [[SubvertedTrope subvert]] this when God declares Gretchen "saved".

Also used as a ploy into tricking their own Celestial Maiden into joining their side by turning on her best friend (who was the other CM).

* ''My Forbidden Face'' (an autobiography written under a pseudonym) discusses this trope, though no one in the novel ever gets raped. The main character reflects that under the {{Taliban}}, a woman being raped would be forced to ''[[HighOctaneNightmareFuel marry her rapist]]''.
