Oh, I should mention those rules were specifically about virgins who were betrothed. If she were not bethrothed, then the man was bound to marry her, unless her father refused. It says he must do this because he “has humbled” the woman, so I think because she would not likely find another husband, since she was not a virgin. Back then, if you were not a virgin, unless you were a widow, you were basically seen as a prostitute and not worthy of marriage.
Interesting. Also in those days I guess it was kinda normal for a girl as young as 12 to be married if the father decided he wanted to give her away.
