This plot mirrors rape culture and I hate it. So the main character got violated after being drugged, her husband had put her into said position for his families honor, and when things turn out worse than he expected, he blames her for it, ignores her and put her on house arrest to the point where she almost dies from neglect. What a piece of shit. None of his circumstances excuse his behavior. And worse: he kept bothering her even after their divorce and violates the little trust she has left by intruding into her home and stealing from her.
The drugging incident and the memory black outs can be a metaphor for rape, not literally but figuratively, and the ptsd that comes with it, but the story jandles it very poorly.
