Friends,
I recently received a letter from a concerned parent. In the letter she told me that her daughter had been raped, but was refusing to marry her rapist as per Deuteronomy 22:28-29. The stupid girl actually wants to press charges on the man!![Angry](https://www.landoverbaptist.net/core/images/smilies/angry.gif)
Not only that, but that she also plans to kill the poor unborn baby her rapist had given her! Sickening! Have young people today got NO morals?![Thumbdown](https://www.landoverbaptist.net/core/images/smilies/thumbdown.gif)
Any and all advice on what I can say to convince this girl to do the right thing would be great. Should I start with the basics ?
"Whore, you'll burn in Hell for all eternity - unless you marry your rapist"??
Or should I go for a more subtle approach??
Scripture:
Deuteronomy 22:28-29 (King James Version)
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.
