This is just reflection of society as a whole. There is no real justice for rape victims because to bring down the rapist the victim will get 10 times more pain being gossiped by others being pointed at, having to relieve what happened again by sharing the story and having relationships ruined. It goes beyond the pain at the point of rape but something that follows their whole life. Whereas rapist just sits in jail (if they do get punished) and thats it everything settled.
This is why rape victims do everything to keep it a secret even if this means the rapist gets away free at least they can move on without social judgement and tag. And It is very well depicted here in seth in this chapter. He would much rather die because that is so much better than what ra wants to do.

Just a guess not a spoiler
Don't worry they will have a Child each heheh first one rourou with ML genes and 2nd son with MC's gene
If any of you rmb how ML's aunt stole the sperm from the sperm bank thinking it was the ML when it was already swapped with the MC. Plus rmb how rou rou saw sad little ducky I think its a premonition
I am 88% confident in my theory and I hope im right (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
My dumb brain can't keep up with the politics and me not remembering the names of people other than MC and ML is not helping
