Larry, maybe you should write something at the end of your song about how the girl is further victimised by being made to feel shame for the violence done TO her. Maybe something like: "How can it be our dishonor, why is it our disgrace Why is it not the rapist, who is forced to hide his face"
I think this would make it clear your song about "Who Will Marry Me" is about the fact that no one from her own Hindu community will marry her because they blame her for what happened.
