That's the problem there. He is behaving as a normal human. He's doing what his father did.....and his father before him. In that society it is normal behavior .....or at least one of the options, that is accepted behavior.
Other parts of the word have similar problems, like setting your wife on fire in India and other extremes in lots of places.
As you well know, rape is about power and humiliation, not sex. That's why is isn't looked upon as a great problem in countries where maiming and death are also viable options.
