You're incorrectly reading rape into it. The law regulated this. After a 30 day waiting period, the woman was married to the man and gained full rights under the law. In an era of arranged marriages, women frequently didn't know their intended husband even that long before marriage.

The law says that people should be killed for certain offenses. you quoted one such instance yourself. Would such killing be sinful? You're still dodging the question.

Are you really going to use the "it was legal at the time so it was okay" tactic? I suppose it is one way to excuse slaughtering these young women's families and then forcibly marrying them to their conquerors.

Your God has messed up priorities as to what is sinful and what the punishment for that sin should be.
