I see in other cultures the penalty for rape is severe like Africa in some parts attaches a cinder block to your penis for a year

Yes, in some countries in Africa the penalty for rape can be very severe, such as a person being forced to wear a cinder block around their neck for a year or longer as punishment. It is a way of publicly shaming the perpetrator and sending a strong message that rape will not be tolerated. It also serves as a form of deterrent, as the penalties are often quite severe and can include life imprisonment or even death.
