Riepilogo: | The law of the captive woman in Deut. 21.10-14 is alternately identified as a law that protects or even favors the captive, or as a law that enshrines wartime rape.

The final line of evidence also allows for the interpretation of the law from the perspective of the captive woman herself. |
