Deuteronomy 22:25-27New King James Version (NKJV)
25 “But if a man finds a betrothed young woman in the countryside, and the man forces her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die. 26 But you shall do nothing to the young woman; there is in the young woman no sin deserving of death, for just as when a man rises against his neighbor and kills him, even so is this matter. 27 For he found her in the countryside, and the betrothed young woman cried out, but there was no one to save her.
The above verses address forced sex with a betrothed woman, so I can't say specifically that it applies to a woman who is not betrothed. He never said it was ok to rape an non-betrothed woman. But again, God did not give the ok, in any way, to the Israelites to rape these girls.

Do you think it was pedophilia for a man to marry a 16 year old girl in ancient times?
