Viola's case, which refused to hide with her rapist, shook Italy

55
years ago

30 May 1969,

Franca Viola's rapist was sentenced to prison. According to an Italian law that lasted until 1981, the raped woman was forgiven the crime if she married the rapist. In addition, the woman "recovered" her honor. Viola was the first woman to refuse to marry her aggressor and sued the court. Viola faced patriarchy and gave hope to rape victims.
