When I read the Bible, I sometimes truly wish I were a female, who would be a divorced Atheist lesbian feminist, who has had an unfortunate abortion, some premarital sex, who was about to marry her girlfriend...who also devotes all her time in working as a volunteer in an orphanage, simply to show that strange God how silly his morals are.
I'd wear a T-shirt that would say "Deuteronomy 22:28-29 are morals with a wrong twist, of course I won't marry my rapist!"
Anybody else have that feeling?

Don't forget lying down with the beast (Leviticus 20:16) on the list of who cares sins.
While the Deuteronomy verse is good, I think the morals are summed up by Numbers 31 where after the Israelites have killed all the adult male Midianites and captured everyone else, they find that this wasn't good enough. All the male children must be killed and all the women who have known a man. The young female children who have not yet known a man were kept alive for the Israelites' pleasure (with 32 being given to the high priest).

verses 25-27 speak of rape whearas the man is guilty and deserves death. The woman is guilty of nothing and deserves no punishment. The verses you speak of 28-29 are talking about consensual sex. If a man takes the virginity of a woman, he needs to marry her so that she is not looked at down by society.
When you read the bible and I'm glad that you are, you need to keep in mind that it was written thousands of years ago, and think of the culture and beliefs of those people back then.

i do not want you to fee stupid, BUT that was stupid!
LOL!LOL! LOL!
I know why you feel like that.
you have been wronged earlier and now you hate God, you hate everything that God said u hate everything about him.
you think that if you were Able to do those things you would make God realize that He was wrong.
So good luck with that!
God knew all what will happen and it was out of His control, He is just and if He would stop evil every time,
then so much for "free will" keep reading the Bible and stop feeling bad for yourself !
God bless You

Bible is blesphemy. If the Bible's way is the right one and the morals it offers are our only "salvation", then I imagine Heave to be one Hell of a sad place.
Try reading Marquise de Sad or Plato.
BTW.
I'm a minister's daughter ; )

We have all been rebellious in some way in some time of our life. I would not marry my rapist either. By the grace of God I do not live back then and can love my neighbor even if he rapes me but don't have to live with him as his wife.

In those days, if a girl got raped, no one would want to marry her. So, the only option would to be to marry her rapist. If you had ever learned the lesson of forgiveness, you would know that it is possible to forgive your rapist and warm to him.

I'm guessing you're only asking this question for entertaintment value...
And no, reading the Bible has never given me that idea.
