Abstract

This article provides a historical interpretation of sexual violence against women, focusing on rape dynamics and victim-blaming as mechanisms for upholding patriarchal power structures.  It explores the evolution of this phenomenon across different cultures and historical periods, with emphasis on its manifestation in Islamic societies. This intersection of traditional customs and religious doctrines has led to misunderstandings that objectify women and result in unfair legal systems contradicting the principles of the Quran.
