The only reason why those princesses managed this trick was exactly because they knew that such defilement of women would be severely punished and this was also a factor in the muslim armies good treatment of civilian women and children.
They were not ravished as they were the reserved for the Caliph to ravish!

I see no honor in this. The others ravished other Sindhi women.

Musa too brought 30,000 virgins for his Caliph as his 1/5 share of the booty? Does that show restrain! No it only shows that 120,000 others were ravished by the other invaders.

You need to look at this by removing the tinted glasses of religion. If the same deed was done by a gang of bandits with no religion and they took some girls to their boss without harming them, would it be a great example of honor?

P.S.: I notice the absence of quotation marks around "brave" now.
