Hopefully this will be the last post on the subject and you will just drop it. Virsery's never "raped" Dany. Did he physically abuse her? Yes. Two different things. This is confirmed in Grmm's books by the simple fact on Dany's wedding night, Illyrio Mopatis, kept vigil over Dany's tent, to assure her maidenhead was not taken by Viserys, before she was wed to Drogo. So, it was never even "possible" that Dany was raped by Visery. End of story.
Next up is the argument of what constitutes rape in a mid-evil society. Rape, simply defined is forcing one to have sex against there will. Your confusing the definition, which doesn't change, regardless of the societal norms, with its legality.
So was raping your wife on your wedding night legal in Westeros? Yes, but that does not change the fact it was still rape.
Could he not have had sex with his sister before that wedding night? Hell, he told her that he would willingly give her to thousands of Drogos riders if he gained him an army. He also groped her before the ceremony.
What I am saying is that you nor I know whether or not Dany was raped by her brother and I do know that I think that under the culture of the day, that she wasn't raped by Drogo. I really do respect your insight on GoT but you haven't made your case on these questions.
