There is none.

I stand corrected on the purpose of the verse, but don't get ahead of yourself here. This is not evidence that God doesn't condone rape. In fact I'll just trade you a Midianite for a Caananite to square the account. = God condones rape.

Iraelite women will be ravished by the men of other nations.I can concede this also, but again no mention of God not condoning rape. Similarly I'll trade this for how the Benjamites got their wives from Jabesh Gilead.
I learned a little in the exchange, but there is still more than sufficient evidence that the God of the Bible condones rape.
