I was expecting Stacey to ask Shabham are you sure he didn't spike your drink or rape her so I think Shabham's toilet quickie with drunk Dean was consensual unless more is to come out

Definitely more to come. Shabnam refused to talk about it, which wouldn't have been the case if all had been revealed.

The thing I am suspicious of is why they'd say it was Dean if nothing more happened. It could of been anyone incuding non-show characters. The fact its Dean suggests more happened, not necassarily rape, but something that could perhaps have more for the storyline to cover.

Yes, I'm sure you're right that even if Dean didn't rape Shabnam the timing of the reveal during the same episode that Dean was gloating to the whole pub that Linda was lying was too coincidental. There's definitely a connection (more than just that both stories involve Dean). I like Lizann's idea in the Deano thread that he'll be convicted for raping Shabnam even if he's innocent of it. That would be karma.

She wasn't a strict devout Muslim then.

She was enough of a Muslim to still be a virgin so I think it still held some importance to her. I'm sure her friends weren't virgins at her age.
