The question is, does this passage describe rape?
Ofcourse it does! It may not be explicitly stated but it's certainly implied.
Deuteronomy 21 confirms this: "...and be her husband and she shall be your wife." No word about conscent here. Just shave her head and keep her captive for a month and then you can rape her all you like!
Also: "If
you are not pleased with her, let her go wherever she wishes" (emphasis mine) Again, note the lack of conscent. What happens if 'she's not pleased with him' ? ..err.. nothing.....tough!
Simply put, Yhwh is a war god who rewards his faithful with rape and pillage.
"In life, you have to face that some days you'll be the pigeon and some days you'll be the statue."
™ Version 4.2
