I think you Turkish men are very behind in how you look at women of today. in fact, i think most muslim men are like this in their religion. if the woman gets raped she has to commit suicide and she would be considered honorable to losing her virginity. I think if we take a look at how 18th century and 1940's this is the way they perceive their women which is a shame. why doesn't islam let you progress to the future. Is judging a female on her virginity backwards .Dont you think it's time islam woke up to the future.
