Causing someone shame is a moral crime. In many cultures, shame is the catalyst for murder, suicide and much more.

Let's turn the tables with a hypothetical situation:

Let's say that an American was being held, and as a source of amusement, they forced him to have sex with his mother while they watched.

Yes I know that they are not identical situations, but the Americans would consider that a horribly shameful & torturous act, while another culture who does not value women (even their own mothers) might not.
