We know that any women captured by the Seanchan in the Westlands are tortured as part of their training but I was under the impression that this was done because female channelers on this side of the ocean dont know or accept the institution of damane.

If a girl is brought up among the Seanchan there is certain some stigma to the family as her name is stricked from the rolls when she is found to be able to channel but I got the impression that quite a few accept their face quite quickly because they have been brough up to believe that damane should submit.

No doubt their initial training may be harsh but I wonder does it have to be as cruel as the training among the Aes Sedai and such who refuse to accept that they should serve the empire.
