They didn't have to marry. They would marry only if sexual relations took place. According to Mosaic Law, if there was a sexual encounter where both parties were willing, then they had to marry. The Mosaic Law clearly forbade adultery and rape - punishable by death (Deuteronomy 22:22-27). So if the woman was raped, then the raper would be stoned to death.
10 "In case you go out to the battle against your enemies and Jehovah your God has given them into your hand and you have carried them away captive; 11 and you have seen among the captives a woman beautiful in form, and you have got attached to her and taken her for your wife, 12 you must then bring her into the midst of your house. She must now shave her head and attend to her nails, 13 and remove the mantle of her captivity from off her and dwell in your house and weep for her father and her mother a whole lunar month; and after that you should have relations with her, and you must take possession of her as your bride, and she must become your wife. 14 And it must occur that if you have found no delight in her, you must then send her away, agreeably to her own soul; but you must by no means sell her for money. You must not deal tyrannically with her after you have humiliated her.
Don't consider the Bible just by one or two small sections. Consider it in its entirety.
If it's to stop people blocking the sidewalk,... I highly doubt that, as I've lived in NYC for over twenty years and of all the things that are ever in my way, photographers are among the least of them. In fact, I can't even recall an instance when a photographer proved to be an impediment other than random tourists here and there.
Well, at the very least that would give the legislators something to do, because by the looks of this, they must just be bored and haven't anything important to do.
however, teenagers regularly disclose mobile numbers to people they barely know in "real life" scenarios, and there's as much chance of something happening in that kind of situation as there is in an electronically-based one.
Tell me about it. I had a young lady once give me her cell number which I called the next day. She was actually surprised and a bit offended that I called her. I asked her then as to why she gave me her number. She said, "I was just being nice." I scratched my head in confusion and said that she could have just given me a fake number instead. She said, "Well, that wouldn't be nice." More head scratching ensued.
My 360 has been sitting unused for at least a month now because of a 3 flashing red lights error. Conveniently for MS, it was only a few days before that my warranty expired. I decided to hold off on getting it repaired because spending half the cost of a new console for repairs seems a bit dubious at best. Now it will only cost me to ship it to them, which is far more reasonable... not to mention that the kids can now stop pestering me with their endless "When you gonna get the 360 fixed?" questions.
:O)
And in the few minutes I've spent reading this post and subsequent replies, I've learned more about guns and shooting than I had in over a decade of playing the most violent video games.:O)
Well, if this is what we teach our children, at least it will cut down on unwanted pregnancies and over-population.
There are a few countries in Asia who would much appreciate such lessons.:O)

Indeed. Oddly enough, my WoW account allows for a stronger password than my bank account.

Where did "or die" come from? The previous quoted law states that the women were not to be killed.
Good. Now read on in chapter 21:
10 "In case you go out to the battle against your enemies and Jehovah your God has given them into your hand and you have carried them away captive; 11 and you have seen among the captives a woman beautiful in form, and you have got attached to her and taken her for your wife, 12 you must then bring her into the midst of your house.

Women.
No, they said that I'll have to ship it to them. However, the repair and the trip back will be out of their pockets. That's good enough for me.

Now combine number 2 and number 6. No one said they need be exclusive of one another.

You can always turn down the difficulty, then turn it back up later when you're in a better fighting condition. :O)
