A woman raped without her consent has no cause to kill herself, and still less cause to do so beforehand to avoid it
Drawn from what Augustine of Hippo said
What Augustine of Hippo actually said
- Augustine of Hippo Christian philosopher and theologian (354 to 430)
And therefore a woman who has been violated by the sin of another, and without any consent of her own, has no cause to put herself to death; much less has she cause to commit suicide in order to avoid such violation, for in that case she commits certain homicide to prevent a crime which is uncertain as yet, and not her own.
