Sure, these laws may apply to biblical times but they still prove my point that the bible and the god in it is sexist and one who who provides no justice for the rape victims themselves, putting more concern about what harm it does to the father's reputation.
Also according to biblical beliefs, the victim in such a case, though now married and not cast off, would still be expected to be "dutiful wife" too, to "obey" her rapist husband, to honor her rapist husband, etc. There is nothing in that at all that is justice whatsoever, it's just mental. 100% of all women raped, I'm sure even in those days would rather be single...nay, stick a fork in their eye, than marry their rapists.
