What exactly was he offering her? She has 5 children, why introduce another man to them. Some women cannot be single, they need a relationship

Because most rape reports do not result in convictions?

I doubt there has never been a conviction. Just that you have not heard of it. I doubt every single rape in the UK that has resulted in a successful verdict for the accuser has been reported in the press.

Not sure what point you thik you are making unless you think courts in the UK are deliberately conspiring to find Muslim men not guilty of raping their wives?

You were suggesting that no muslim women would report marital rape to their authorities but the links above, including your own, suggest that is not the case.

Edited

The links show that marital rape within Muslim marriages are not uncommon. But it's extremely unlikely that a Muslim wife will report it, and if she does it will typically go to a Sharia council to mediate - Sharia councils do not accept that rape can occur within a marriage. In some exceptional cases they will pursue justice outside of Sharia councils, but have never once been successful
