When the aggressor comes from a country where 'Romantic marriages (are still) becoming more common' and a county which is one of the leading practitioners of female genital mutilation (FGM) also known as female genital cutting (FGC), asking the questions which you suggest is irrelevant, whether the victim is male or female.

What was the man wearing? Was he half-naked, and half-drunk?
I bet if it were a woman who was raped, these questions would be asked, but since the victim is a man, no one asks them.
Wonder why...
