Tow points about this Libyan society that seems to protect women from
rape:

(1) No one has stated anything like the full burden that society places
upon women in return for "protecting" them.  How well, in comparison to
our society, are their property rights, and divorce rights protected?
Are they given free reign (well, inside the home) to educate themselves?
Etcetera, etcetera...

(2) Do we all agree there is no rape in traditional Libya?  Let's not
accept this so quickly, given just one or two assurances.  And let's certainly
not take the lack of rape prosecutions as evidence of lack of rape.
