@ Al. Verses 28-29 have nothing to do with forcing a woman to marry her rapist. If you read up to verses 25-27, even though that woman is betrothed, she cried out. Rape. The man was then executed. In verses 28-29, there was no crying out, so no rape occurred. It was consensual. Basically it's saying, "Since you wanted to test drive it, now you must buy it. You can never trade it in either."
Our Father would not make a woman marry her rapist, and then force her to cook, clean, and have normal willing sex with him afterwards. Always put it in context.
