Your point is well taken. Perhaps in ancient times there was no safety net and this was atleast something. (Even our foster homes have problems.)

But if the arguments in Anamensis' previous reply was correct (decent women enjoy sex anyway, the idea that you are "raping" a woman while offering lifetime financial coverage and social respectability (technically) doesn't strike them as horrific) OR the followers of Islam were expected to be incredibly morally upright and not take advantage, it is anacceptable that their "contract" with these girls would force them - sooner or later - into marriage.

Yes, you're right, according to the Koran, if I remember correctly (Chap 4?) women are not supposed to be forced into marriage. But you know how folks are, when they really want something, they can find loopholes...
