You guys are like a broken record. Why couldn't God have afforded women the right to have a say in who they married? Why did God cultivate a patriarchal culture in the first place? I mean, since he was in charge of writing the Jews' moral (and ritual) laws and all...
Theoretical commandment God could have written but for some reason didn't think of it:
"Women are autonomous beings and shall be treated as such"
There is no context that justifies, because your omnipotent God is responsible for all of the context.
Did you forget that the woman was cursed in the garden of Eden so that man was made to rule over her?
Mm... So woman suggests man do something. Man does it. Woman gets punished. Woman gets enslaved. God is not only unjust, but also has a penchant for misogyny, apparently.
Also, pretty unjust (cruel/evil is a more accurate description, actually) to subject an entire population of innocent women to life-long sexual assault in the name of the perceived wrong doing of one human.
