Likewise, the relative age issue is a non-starter in the sin department. The concept of statutory rape just isn't in the Bible.
But, she was married to another man at the time, and in that case we can look to Deuteronomy 22:22 for Guidance™:
Deuteronomy 22:22 "If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel."
So God wants them
both dead.
Funny/sad how often that's what "lovingkindness" really boils down to, huh?
