How is this okay?

I have no problem with burqas. To be precise, I have no problem with women who want to wear a burqa. Or hijab in general, if it's a choice. Hell, I tend to wear looser fitting clothes and higher necklines to work to avoid the eyes of creepy learing guy.
What I have a problem with is this scenario:
Old dude: Hey, wow, you're young enough to be my granddaughter and, damn, you are hot. Let's get married so that I can rape you and call it God's will.
17-year-old-girl: Like, no thanks.
One week later:
Old dude: She's an adulterer, I know she is! I will beat her, according to God's will! She will repent! (And I get off on it, since the bitch turned me down.)
If you want to live under Muslim law, that's fine. Good for you. You're a better person than me. But any place that has laws like this should have a choice: Either allow women who don't want this to leave peacefully, or never receive any foreign aid. It's a simple choice, respect human rights, or figure your shit out on your own.
