Ambrose’s views on rape or threatened rape are that it should be guiltless for the one who is penetrated. The one who is penetrated, especially if a dedicated virgin strictly values their virginity and pure mind towards God, if a rape does occur to a dedicated virgin Ambrose believes that suicide is acceptable and that God will approve of the suicide, because it is seen are a type of heroism. On the other hand, Augustine’s view towards rape is that if the virgin feels the urge to take their life because they feel as though they let God down, the virgin is not allowed to commit suicide after the sex because it can appear as if the virgin is guilty of actually wanting it and that suicide is seen as a type of murder which God would never approve
