Biblical Laws of Rape

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. Deuteronomy 22:28-29
What kind of a monster would command a rape victim marry her attacker? Answer: God. And to think that the Catholic Bishops of the Philippines, in this day and age, still insist that rape cases are mostly caused by women flaunting their bodies to men. Poch Suzara

That is really sad and unbelievable!!!
This is why sometimes I believe the Bible to be of 'man'!!!
Why would God want a woman to marry a man that raped her?
Did rape mean the same 'then' as it does 'today'?

My Dear,
The bible was not written by intelligent men, but written by superstitious primitives as inspired by their own ignorance and fear. Cosnider: They did not even know that the earth is round and that it rotates on its own axis once a day and orbits round the sun once a year. Poch Suzara

Rape in the Bible, what about incest in the bible; Consider: Lot with his elder daughter, Genesis 19:33
Lot with his youngest daughter. Genesis 19:35
Abraham with his half sister, Genesis 20:12
Nahor with his niece, Genesis 11:27, 20
Reuben with his father’s concubine, genesis 35:22, 49:4
Amram with his aunt, Exodus 6:20
Judah with his daughter-in-law, Genesis 38:16-18
Amnon with his sister, 2Samuel 13:2, 14
Absalom with his father’s 10 concubines. 2 Samuel 15:16;
Herod with his sister-in-law, Mark 6:17-18
See also Amos 2:7 and First Corinthians 5:1 and how
about Cain (Genesis 4:17) and Seth (Genesis) 4:26? Poch Suzara
