Maybe you have a problem understanding what teaching is. What do you think the commandment is teaching? You giving me a verse of some men "raping" women is not the bible "teaching" us to rape women. On one of those verse it clearly said "there was no king in those days so they did what they saw right in their eyes". On others it said she can willfully LEAVE and that you cannot sell her 9meaning she was free to leave). And on the last one is spoke of Israels enemies doing the same thing that Isreal did to them in return (which was a punishment for their behavior). In the bible it teaches us that Israel did things that God did not approve of and for that they were punished by being conquered by their enemies. That is in no way condoning that behavior.
