The other thread had too many pages of spam and such so I will tell you what the verse means because some people read old versions and get confused. I have a NIV bible and this is what is says:
Deuteronomy 22:23-27
If a man happens to meet in a town a virgin pledged to be married and sleeps with her, you shall take both of them to the gate of that town and stone them to death-the girl because she was in a town and did not scream for help, and the man because he violated another man’s wife. You must purge the evil from among you. But if out in the country a man happens to meet a girl pledged to be married and rapes her, only the man who has done this shall die. Do nothing to the girl; she has committed no sin deserving death. This case is like that of someone who attacks and murders his neighbor, for the man found the girl out in the country, and though the betrothed girl screamed, there was no one to rescue her
See the olny time it says to girl the victim is when the girl doesn't scream for help. Also I have to admit if you go futher on it says if the girl in the country is not pledeged to be married the man olny has to pay the father 50 shekels and marry the gril and not get divorced. But I beleive even though they say rape I think it is more to do it which could be considered raping but is natural not like the man attacking the girl and raping her then killing her.
Also one final thing the translation may be wrong or right but it is the truth and what god said so we shouldn't go against it if we are 100% sure it is correct. But most likely because of the different times we should make the law now and it is different than the death penalty death penalty can not be mistaken this can be. Also if you say we should listen to the old testament because of this but listen to the new testametn you are a hypocrite because all of it is gods word old or new.
