7 If any man sell his daughter to be a servant, she shall not go out as bondwomen are wont to go out. 8 If she displease the eyes of her master to whom she was delivered, he shall let her go: but he shall have no power to sell her to a foreign nation, if he despise her. 9 But if he have betrothed her to his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters. 10 And if he take another wife for him, he shall provide her a marriage, and raiment, neither shall he refuse the price of her chastity.
Exodus 21: 7-10
The whole purpose of the passage was to give women rights who had been sold into slavery by their father. In the ancient world the authority of a father over a child was absolute, in most cultures, until the son came of age and of the daughter until she married. The Mosaic Law, time and again, attempted to soften the edges of preexisting laws and customs, and give rights to those who had heretofore had no rights. Too many atheists, blinded by hate against a God they do not believe in, cannot see what is right before their noses.
