So, you are saying that a woman doesn't have the right to defend herself from her slave master who is keeping her captive to use her for sex.
After all, her life isn't being threatened, so how can you justify her killing her slave master just because she doesn't like the inconvenience of being a sex slave. How can it be moral for her to take a human life when her life isn't at risk?
