Genesis 19:6-8, this isn’t really about marriage but I just noticed how lot was willing to give up his daughters like they were nothing, and God didn’t say anything about it. How come it was okay for women to be treated like that. Not to sound rude or anything, but I don’t think it matters what culture or time it was, it was still a sin, right? And there were many men in the Bible that married many women, and yet it was okay? I don’t think submitting has anything to do with it, because in the end you are suppose to submit to each other and stick with each other. I understand “man of the house”, or whatever you wanna call it but it’s just doesn’t seem fair that women could be treated like that and nothing was said. Many women were raped, and forced into marriage, and that was okay by God? What if she didn’t want to marry her own rapist... I just don’t understand the things that God seems to let pass. Are women really beneath men? Do we not matter as much? Were we just put here for men’s pleasure?

No .. and it never has been OK by God.
Genesis 2:24
Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
Much of the bible depicts the history of mankinds' sin and wrong doings. The history of mankind NOT following the Lords teachings and some that did follow the Lords teachings.
The Lord chose love and forgiveness always wanting mankind to change their evil ways and yes, even for those who committed great atrocities.
We have examples of what is good to do and what is NOT good to do.
The way men treated women badly in the past and the way some do today .... is NOT ok with the Lord ... He is however long-suffering and wanted and wants people to change for the good and gives them time to do this.
When you look at anyone going against the teachings of the Lord (historically) .... there were consequences that resulted from them ... yet many of them received forgiveness and were saved.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you (all), not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
and ... some did ... and some do and some will
Ecclesiastes 1:9
What has been will be again, and what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.
Romans 5:8
But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
