Everyone who supports the bible as a moral code though can't have much of an issue with rape. If you rape an unmarried woman, your "punishment" is to pay the father some coins, then the woman has to marry you. I'm sure there are plenty of other messed up rules about rape in the bible too.
Consider the fact of property. Someone sets a fire on your land... you'll be wanting them to be paying you the full price you would have sold the land for, would you not?
Women were property. It isn't right to vandalize... got to get something out of it, right?

Context. Culture. Do you actually care about the timeframe in which 'the bible' was written?
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
