"Is Deuteronomy 22:13-29 pro-women? After considering Israel’s cultural setting, examining the original Hebrew terms, and placing these laws in context, the Deuteronomic law pertaining to sexual crimes provided protection for women that the surrounding nations did not match, and arguably, neither does today’s legal system. It protected females from sexual assault, public humiliation, and economic instability. The modern world would do well to investigate the wisdom of Israel’s civil code. There is much work to be done on its application. What is perhaps the largest challenge is extracting the general equity of the law from Israel’s unique culture and temporal covenant administration."
