This passage cannot be more clear, and it is one many women seem to ignore, and they shall burn in Hell for it!
A rape victim MUST marry her rapist, and the rape victim's father must be compensated for depreciation of his property.
Seems a fair trade, given that the woman would be soiled goods. What kind of real man would want to marry a rape victim anyways? It is disgusting.

I'm sorry, but this seems wrong to me. Rape is indeed an evil thing, so why force the woman to live with it? I obviously cannot argue with the Bible, but it still seems wrong that she should have to marry her rapist. Why not allow her to live without ever marrying instead, using her as an example?
And what of male rape? As disgusting and vulgar as it is, what if a young man or boy is raped by another man? Are they supposed to marry? Why say 'females do this, males do that'? It just confuses me, and I don't know what the answer is. Surely there must be something I'm missing here.
