Why would any woman want to be Christian?

Well, raping a woman who is someone elses property (a husband is a ba'al or "master") is a death sentence. If the girl had no master, but is owned by her father, then a rape is considered a binding "agreement", to pay for the right to keep using her. Typicall, the father would get to hold onto 200, 100, or 50 shekels for selling his daughter. For selling her into Hebrew slavery for a period of years, then there is better income there, especially if she is an old maid, say 20 years or older! There is also a trick that the slave owner can do with the male Hebrew to get him to remain enslaved forever "Oh, you want to go free. Oh, you know this woman I gave you and your kids. They are mine. Now you can choose to stay or go.")

It is a system of slavery for supposed ex-slaves to be a slave to a God that prefers slaves over the free. (And his "kid" was no better!)
