I'm in favor of resurecting the Midevil Isle of Man's punishment.

The victim or her nearest female relitive, if the victim had died, was given
three objects symbolic of the punishments

1.  A knife  - the rapist was castrated
2.  Flint and Steel  - the rapist would be burnned at the stake
3.  A wedding Ring - the rapist would be wed to the person chosen.

Didn't #3 happen to Duncan McCloud in highlander: the series?
