Original Note:
The claim that Deuteronomy 22:28-29 allows selling a woman to her rapist misrepresents the passage. It addresses consensual premarital sex, not rape. The law required compensation for the woman’s family. Rape was punished by death, not marriage. [Source](https://www.gotquestions.org/Deuteronomy-22-28-29-marry-rapist.html)
