[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a woman, I find it sort of hard to understand how a woman in her mid-20s allows her BIL to rape her on an ongoing basis? I can see it happening to a 15-year old. But a woman in her mid-20s? Genuinely puzzled. Are we sure this woman doesn't have a psychiatric condition?  I mean, if it really happened, he can burn.[/quote]
Did you read this article? He was her teacher and her coach, his father was her pastor, and they arranged her marriage. He had total control over her.
“Lee Chatfield was a young teacher and coach at the school. Rebekah said he had taught her in several classes, and served as an assistant coach for Rebekah’s soccer team.

Through thrice-weekly church services, daily school lessons, regular after-school events and frequent visits to the Chatfield family homes, Rebekah Chatfield said, the church and its founding family gave her a sense of belonging during a traumatic and vulnerable time in her life.

They also instilled in her an obedience to church hierarchy, male superiority, sexual purity and distrust of the outside world, she said. Women were expected to marry young, have children, and obey the men in their families.

“They preach at the pulpit that the men are always right, the women have no say,” she said.

I encourage people to read the Bridge MI article. This is classic grooming behavior by Chatfield. He started molesting her at the age of 15. Then the family father - aka pastor of the church - arranged for her to marry the youngest Chatfield brother once she hit 18.

Crazy and disgusting. This is something you see in fundamentalist religions in 3rd world countries. [/quote]
