What is the ruling on taking a sum of money from the usurper and his relatives as compensation for the woman's guardians for the dishonor they suffered due to the rape, and what is the solution if there is fear of discord should it not be permissible?

The rapist must pay the full mahr (dowry) to the woman, and he must repent of this grave sin. We do not know of any evidence that obligates him to pay anything to the woman's guardians, but there is no harm in giving them money for reconciliation if there is a fear of discord. Parents must take care of their daughters and prevent them from mixing with non- men.
