The fact that the woman did something wrong does not change, but the law make distinctions and things like mitigating or even eliminating the punishment around some situations like you state.
That is there are some new facts that could mitigate or even justify another fact or actions.
For example, if you enter a private property in the US with a gun(in order to steal, or kidnap or kill) the property owner can kill you. Which is a bad thing, but is justified by the fact that someone entered your property armed without your permission.
In some counties in Europe, if you use the force against someone that carries a weapon in your own property, and you kill this person, you go to jail!! And have to indemnify the robber!!
Yes, you do something that is very bad, but you were forced to do it by someone who wanted to profit doing something bad to you. It would be worse doing nothing.
The same happens in wars. Americans invaded Europe and killed (and raped) thousands of thousands of Europeans. That was terrible and wrong. But it was done because someone (Hitler) did it first to other countries in Europe, like Poland and France.(It would have been worse not doing something)
No soldier went to jail for killing enemies(or raping their daughters and wifes).
Another example is police men. They carry weapons(that kill) and they have to use them if necessary, even if it is wrong.
The narrative that you imply is actually creating stories(and facts) that justify your behavior that are actually false.
You know Hitler used german soldiers disguised as Polish in order to justify invading Poland?
He used the fire in the Reichstag fire as Narrative for taking absolute power.
That was stated already by Napoleon, who believed before invading a country you needed a pretext(A narrative) something he learnned from his favorite book, The Prince of Macciavelo.
Today of course those narratives continue existing. Most Americans agreed on Invading Iraq because 9-11. The invasion was planned in words of the secretary of State Defense years before the 9-11 attack. The fact that the country is 2000 miles away from where the terrorist came from (an US allied country) and that they are populated mostly by another faction of Islam didn't matter the least.
But narratives are not bad, if they are true. It is only when they are fabricated when they are terrible wrong.
