*** According to [[http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/dt/22.html|Deuteronomy 22:23-24]], \\\'\\\'being raped is still a consensual and \\\"wicked\\\" act, ideally punished with death-by-stoning\\\'\\\'.
The problems are as follows:
* 23-24 does not refer (only) to rape, but to (possibly consensual) sex between a man and a betrothed virgin. Her failure to cry out is taken as a sign of consent. Presumably other signs of resistance would be taken into account as well, especially since all of the laws in this section are presented as examples, legal precedent if you will, and were taken as such.
* 25-26 refers to (assumed) rape, presenting a situation in which no witnesses were nearby to hear her cry out or to help. In that case, her innocence is assumed and only the man is executed for forcing himself on her. This \\\'\\\'might\\\'\\\' fit the article.
