See? Critical thinking, at first you didn’t seem to acknowledge this.
Are you so sure rape isn’t similar?
No. Actually I acknowledged it right away and I responded to it.
It would be difficult to put rape there as the Torah bleary discusses it and does not say you kill someone for it. But if the results matched up with molestation, then your correct I can’t say we wouldn’t kill. But as I said before. The same would go for purse snatching.
If every victim or many even, committed suicide, it would probably also become a capital offense.
It’s not specific to rape.
חילול שבת is worse than murder.
The Gemmara says it goes by the type of death penalty.
It’s splits different kind of עריות as well.
It’s clearly basing how big a rasha he is, by viewing his punishment.
