Strangers simply do not have the sort of access to "unattended" women in those societies.

I hope you can grasp where I'm going here...
I don't know there are a lot of big words there so it is pretty tough to follow but...

It still doesn't change what the law is.

Sure it may cover most incidents but doesn't change the law.

I don't really care that much anyways so I will let everyone be happy with the rape is legal in Afghanistan because however it is phrased it is still a bad law.

Personally I found the way it was worded as a bit over the top and that it is untrue, but if people care that much then go ahead and use the phrase.
