In that culture, women were considered property instead of people. The laws against having sex were more for protecting a man's property than protecting the woman. I know that slavery and unconsentual sex with women was ok to them, but what i don't know is why current human culture would dictate what a god believes is right or wrong. You'd think that would be evidence that this god was an invention of the people at those times, if its views matches the current views, or were only slightly more progressive.
We don't want to give women equality with men, but at least try not to mess with another man's property. We don't want to abolish slavery and make all people equal, but at least try not to beat your slave so much that he dies within a day or two, and try not to enslave the people of your tribe. These rules do help mitigate the problem slightly, but it doesn't remove the problem.
