What is your interpretation ?
There is no need to interpret. I don't have slave, and if anyone rape a woman, and he is below 45, he will be jailed and canned. period.

I don't think so. The issues raised about servants or rape have nothing to do with inerrancy. Every society and nation has its own laws for dealing with offenses. I think tje critics just take issue with how the various offenses are being handled. Truth be told, a critic can find fault with anything if finding fault is what he likes to do. Of course what is regarded as fault is often what he thinks does not pass his own likes and judgement. -
it was good until society changed the laws of old... I always wanted a couple of wives....some slaves and the legitimate right of punishing them with violence...

Laws of Rape (Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT)
If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.
Why can't Bible critics read the Bible more intelligently instead of being trigger-happy to lash out at it when they read something that offends their minds. Seriously if these critics got questions like these they should consult informative websites like http://www.gotquestions.org/Deuteronomy-22-28-29-marry-rapist.html -
Delete repeat post. Sorry.

And I can rape/ entice/ violate/ liberate virgins to make them my wifes if they chose to be.... No lost for me.... This is good! I would go on liberating virginity provided I was rich enough to pay 50 shekels of silver...

If no need interpret, should remove the terrible verse from the bible, for goodness sake.

It says rape is a sad fate and marrying the victim is a better choice.

So, back to the question at hand: DoesDeuteronomy 22:28-29 command a rape victim to marry her rapist? While that is a possible, perhaps even likely, interpretation of the passage, it is not the only possible interpretation. Even if Deuteronomy 22:28-29 does command a rape victim to marry her rapist, it is crucial to remember that such a fate, as difficult as it would be, was, at least for some, much better than the alternatives.
Unquote.
So terrible. Should include an addendum in the bible that all rapists should be castrated, which I will support this law in any society.

The alternative was really bad... A woman had no status by herself during that time. A non virgin woman is condenmed thoroughly throughout....
In this light, it is actually better to be married to the rapist/ liberator. -

I don't interpret so I have to remove the verses from the Bible?
It is the record of the law for that people at that time, for their good! You don't belong to that era, you are not part of them, it is for your own good that you leave it as it is.

yeah
laws of the ancient days
leave it at there

Well, wait till you get to be King or President then you change the punishment lor. But please do not miss the point that this seizing of the virgin is considered a punishable act. So if it is interpreted as rape, the rapist is being punished. If it is not interpreted as rape then the man is to take responsibility of the woman for life. It is still a form of punishment, if not restitution. You will not find a Biblical teaching that says rape is good. -
but u are not king or president u already dictated the constitutional laws
what irony
