Following the logic behind subjective morality, they have done nothing wrong. Do you guys honestly support this view?
In general morality is subjective, but to decide whether rapists act immorally, even from the viewpoint of their own culture, is very easy if you consider that there is no culture in which children willingly offer themselves for abuse. There is no doubt in my mind that the victims feel that what the men do to them is horrendously immoral. It would be a bit naive to suppose that if some members of a cultural group espouse certain moral values - or rather, fail to do so - that this then goes for the whole group.
