What should a girl do who has been forced into rape and is threatened with scandal, and she does not want to displease God nor face scandal?
What you engaged in by complying with those individuals in committing sodomy is a great crime and an enormous evil, because it is a departure from natural human disposition (fitra) and an aberration from the straight path for expending one's desires. Allah Almighty says: "Do you approach males among the worlds And leave what your Lord has created for you as your mates? Rather, you are a transgressing people." [Ash-Shu'ara: 165-166].
The cause of this predicament is your companionship with these wicked people. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, warned against this by saying: "A person is on the religion of his intimate friend, so let one of you look at whom he befriends."
You must repent to Allah for what you have done, cut off your relationship with these individuals, abandon them, and seek help from righteous and pious people to assist you with this problem without causing a scandal.
