As shown, the women became wives. They were not slaves. They were not raped, unless you take the position that arranged marriage is rape.
Quote:"Keep alive for yourselves" does not refer to marriage. Neither from linguistic or from contextual aspects.
I agree. The detailed rules specifying marriage are found in Deut. 21:10-14, as previously provided.

Just the opposite. Unlike you guys, I'm not the kind of guy who's quick to judge other cultures.
Yes, the idea of arranged marriage is foreign to me, as I didn't grow up in such a culture, but it's still the predominant custom in the world and was moreso in ancient times. I'm not so arrogant as to call all of that rape.
