They do care about rape, but not quite the way you're thinking. Those rules you mentioned about having to marry the rapist? That's what they care about. Basically, young unmarried women are property of their fathers. When they marry, they become property of their husbands. If you rape an unmarried young woman, you're stealing her father's property, and the marriage pact sets it right.
So it's actually much more fucked up then not having any problem with rape at all.
