If he managed to have sex with her, if he was still single, he would in Old Testament times be obligated to support her as a wife for as long as he lived.

Feminists scream that this made the woman property, but I ain’t so certain. HE was forbidden to divorce HER, but divorce was not symmetrical in that culture. One partner took initiative to “put the other away” in a divorce. As far as I can see... SHE could still divorce HIM if she chose.
