Nothing as that would interfear with
Go Forth and multiply.
its why its anti sex ed, anti contraception, Anti gay 9no kids), anti masturbation, strippers and porn (as all give pleasure but no babies), why its against sex outside marriage as thats normally with contrceptives, why its against single mothers as they have less babies and why it supports marriage as thats normally for kids.
And why no commandment against child abuse either

Deut
22:23 If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;
22:24 Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.
So if a woman is raped in the city and doesn't scream loud enough, she gets put to death too.

The Bible indeed condemns that activity as it should. What people object to and the reason they say it condones rape is because in a section of the laws for Israel, God made provisions for rape victims. With that being said, God no more condones rape than he does slavery or divorce.

Deuteronomy 22
25But 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. 26But 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: 27For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.
28If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; 29Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.

I think this will sum it up for you.
Deuteronomy 22:28 - 29 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.
You catch that it actually says BECAUSE HE HATH HUMBLED HER! TO RAPE A WOMEN IS TO HUMBLE HER! WOW THAT IS SICK!

The Bible consents rape, as long as the woman's father gives consent to the rapist.
A woman must marry her rapist and the rapist must pay her father for her virginity.
Basically, it doesn't condone rape but it certainly makes out that women are property, so rape is like stealing someone's 'goat' or something.

If a man forces a woman to lie with him, only the man is guilty of sin, Deut. 22: 25-27.

It is not a concept that the Bible recognises.
According to it there is no such thing since women are little more than chattle and possessions.
