Sorry, I thought Deuteronomy was in the OT.....
(Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT)
If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.
How is this not forcing a woman to marry her attacker?
Did you ignore totally the post . ? There is no way you can make that into rape in Deut as being acceptable . Your intentionally not reading the verse just before that that says anyone , no matter what, if they rape a women , the rapist is to be put to death as per God's comandment. No were dose it say rape is ok in the next verse... And even if it were stated that , which its not,, As God commanded, is unlawful and the man or that dose that, is to be put to death. Why are you intentally ignoring those scriptures ?
Deuteronomy 22 kvj
25 But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die.
26 But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter:
27 For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.
this applied to the following verses as well, not just were you want it to.
