Is a woman wearing revealing outfits equally responsible for any rape that may happen to her?

It is the fault of the woman to wear insufficient clothes exposing the parts of her body. At the same time, it is also an equal sin on the side of the rapist, whose eyes are searching the exposed parts of the body. Both are equally responsible, but the rapist is more responsible for the rape. If the person by seeing the exposed parts of the body of a lady is jumping on her to rape, where is the control of mind on the part of the rapist? Moreover, the lady is resisting the person and if the lady is equally interested, she should have cooperated to the rape.

Therefore, jumping of the rapist to rape in spite of the resistance from the other side makes the rapist become totally a full criminal. Of course, the lady should also have taken sufficient care to prevent the rape than weeping against the incurable damage. Now, the point is why ladies are not taking such precautions? Generally, modern girls are doing such foolish things. The reason for such exposure is that they want to attract suitable males for marriage. Hence, all this is a complicated vicious circle. But, the exposure of the body of the girls can be treated certainly a wrong step, but this itself cannot be made the total responsible step.

Absolutely not. Being raped is not a natural consequence of wearing revealing outfits, it is something that is done to a person by another. You could argue that it is foolish to wear revealing outfits, as you have here, but that's a very different question as to being responsible. In the same way, while it's not wise to leave your door unlocked, you are not responsible if someone steal from your house. What you are doing here, is victim blaming. Also you spoke of resistance as if it is mitigating factor, but it's totally irrelevant. I would not be responsible for being robbed, if I did not resist.
The reason for such exposure is that they want to attract suitable males for marriage.
Or they just want to feel pretty without a thought about marriage?

I have same opinion as yours. Raping is not correct, even if somebody wear revealing outfit. At the same time dressing in a proper manner is also a good way to avoid such incidents.

That much we do agree, but weren't you suggesting that a person wearing revealing outfits is partly at fault for rape that happen to them? We don't agree on that.

Source of temptation is one thing. A person who is emotionally not strong may get carried away by such exposure and may try to harm such a women who exposes. Hence if women can dress decently one can avoid the action from such emotionally un-mature person.

Yes, but the point was she is not to blame, nor responsible for attracting attention from such emotionally un-mature persons.

Suppose she had dressed properly without any exposure then such attraction will not happen and rape will not happen.

I agree, but the point is still this: That doesn't mean the victim is responsible, when they don't dress properly, and then rape happens.

Rape is driven by the drive to exert power over and violence against the victim. It has nothing to do with attraction. Rape is always the fault of the perpetrator. The victim is after all, the victim. Your question also falsely assumes that the victim is always a woman.

OK I agree with your point. The victim is not at fault. Those doing violence is the culprit. MY only point is that the circumstances which leads to violence and its probability can be reduce if one is little careful.
