I do not see the hair you are splitting. They are forced to marry each
other. That is reprehensible.

Forcing a victim of rape to marry the rapist is NOT an anti-rape law in ay
way, shape, or form. It is repulsive and very pro-rape. It encourages rape
foe any man who wants to marry a woman who has rejected him. Just rape her
and she is FORCED to marry him.

Just sickening. Seriously, how can anyone read that without being repulsed?

A man rapes someone, is caught, and is forced to marry his victim... and you
think he will not rape her again? Of course he will. Again and again and
again. For years.

Or do you think once the victim is forced to marry her rapist she will
suddenly find true love and accept him willingly?

> It is also quite expen- sive and has serious consequences.

Expensive! Poor guy... he rapes a woman and is then "given" her like she was
a hunk of meat where he can rape her over and over and over and you are
concerned it might cost him some money to be married to her!

Seriously: WTF!

From the page you linked to:
    -----
    Tarico was critical of Deuteronomy 22:28-29, saying that "The
    punishments for rape have to do not with compassion or trauma to the
    woman herself but with honor, tribal purity, and a sense that a used
    woman is damaged goods."[14]

    Cheryl Anderson, in her book Ancient Laws and Contemporary
    Controversies: The Need for Inclusive Bible Interpretation,
    discusses an anecdote about a student, who, when exposed to the
    passages in Deuteronomy, said that "This is the word of God. If it
    says slavery is okay, slavery is okay. If it says rape is okay, rape
    is okay."[33] Elaborating on this, she states in response to these
    passages, "Clearly, these laws do not take into account the female's
    perspective. After a rape, [the victim] would undoubtedly see
    herself as the injured party and would probably find marriage to her
    rapist to be distasteful, to say the least. Arguably, there are
    cultural and historical reasons why such a law made sense at the
    time. [...] Just the same, the law communicates the message that
    faith tradition does not (and should not) consider the possibility
    that women might have different yet valid perspectives."[34]
    -----

You skip that and reference the next section which starts with:
    -----
    In a piece for TheBlaze <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TheBlaze> ,
    a variety of religious scholars condemn the idea that the Bible
    supported rape. They write that the rape discussed in Deuteronomy
    was not criminal rape, ...
    -----

NOT CRIMINAL RAPE.

Let that sink in. 

    NOT CRIMINAL RAPE

That is the defense... that rape was decriminalized that it would somehow
make sense? Then it goes on:

    -----
    that a woman could opt out of marrying her rapist,
    -----

Completely made up. Not in that law at all. But it goes on:

    -----
    and that the law was created to protect the woman
    -----

A law forcing a woman to marry her rapist and spend a lifetime of being
raped over and over, and treating her like property is now being twisted to
be a law designed to protect her!

How can you read this stuff without wanting to puke?

Some do... and if so then God is evil.

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot
use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow
superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
