Kaisipang Hudyo sa Mga Bilang 20:21: Akeidat Yitzchak

וַיְמָאֵ֣ן ׀ אֱד֗וֹם נְתֹן֙ אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל עֲבֹ֖ר בִּגְבֻל֑וֹ וַיֵּ֥ט יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מֵעָלָֽיו׃ (פ)

At tumanggi ang Edom na padaanin si Israel sa kanyang hangganan; at lumihis si Israel palayo sa kanya.

Akeidat Yitzchak

We detect differences in the treatment of a rapist and a seducer, respectively. The former has only violated the body of the victim. The latter has also coerced or misled his victim's mind, thereby causing her a greater loss of image amongst her peers and opportunities to get married. Therefore, the seducer must marry her. (Exodus 22,16) If her father does not agree, the seducer must provide an adequate dowry in lieu of marriage. The rapist pays a fixed indemnity or must marry his victim. He is never able to divorce her. If the girl refuses to marry her rapist, this does not result in additional financial cost to the latter.
