Salam, Brothers and sisters, after seeing the thread on sexual assault and after reading a thread on having mutah sexual relationship with someone, but later abandoning him due to family pressure and in favor of a permanent husband: Sisters: How do those who have suffered through the sexual assault (minor, major, touching or brushing by a stranger in a public transport etc), face the consequences? Sisters: What kind of psychological issues you face later? (E.g. do you start distrusting all males?) Sisters: How you cope with the mental pain or psychological trauma? Sisters: Would you ever be telling this to your spouses (esp husbands) now or in future? Future husbands: how would you react if you hear of this happened to your wife before you both married? Future husbands: how would you react if you hear about it of your fiancée who is not your wife yet? I'm sort of mixing the issues, but basically what happens when you or a loved one goes through consensual (halal but society looks down on it) or forced sexual relationship?
