Of course (to complete the thought), Deuteronomy 22 goes on to address the virgin damsel that is not betrothed:

“27 For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.

28 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;

29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.”

As us “crazy Bible clingers” know, with the way the Bible addresses sexual morality, the fornication, abortion and government welfare that we see today are avoided. And rape becomes a very infrequent occurrence. Basically, if there is a pregnancy, there is either a marriage or a death sentence.

Old timers will frequently recount situations where the woman’s father sat the couple down and explains that they will be married. I heard one just recently that was a classic, with the gathering at the kitchen table, the head of the househod making the declaration then proceeding to give them a house to start out in.

To my knowledge the Bible never really address how to deal with a man who rapes another man.

Unless you look at that case in Sodom and Gomorrah and the men trying to rape other “men” just happen to be trying to rape angels. Then that blindness trick really comes in handy.
