Female captives, how should you treat them?
Ask God...
" When you go out to war against your enemies and the Lord, your God, delivers them into your hand, so that you take captives, if you see a comely woman amoung the captives and become so enamored of her that you wish to have her as wife, you may take her home to your house. But before she may live there, she must shave her head and pare her nails and lay aside her captives garb. After she has mourned her father and mother for a full month, you may have relations with her, and you shall be her husband and she shall be your wife.
However, if later on you lose your liking for her, you shall give her freedom if she wishes it; but you shall not sell her or enslave her, since she was married to you under compulsion." Deuteronomy 21:10
Another fine moral lesson from the Bible that I never hear people Quote. How come?
