I came across a self-professed far-right Christian on the Christian manosphere who claimed that polygamy is Biblical. That marriage as a sacramental ceremony was invented by the "apostate" Catholic Church, and is not Bible-based.

I was told that, according to the Bible, if a man had sex with a virgin, even if he raped her, they were married in the eyes of God. That the Old Testament (I forget which book) said he had to take her for his wife. You raped her, you bought her.

This fellow also adhered to the belief that a daughter was under the rule of her father, until she married. And that she could only marry a man of her father's choosing.

I don't think he practiced this belief. Only that he wished that modern society adhered to such "Biblical rules."

This is pretty accurate for purposes of anthropological history. The beliefs are common among middle eastern tribal people. Arab Islam incorporates them into their cultural beliefs. The man is an idiot if he wishes to enforce on even the most conservative contemporary Christian culture. People like him are dangerous fools as they provide the left with ready made strawmen to ‘prove’ believing Christians are psychopathic fanatics.
