It doesn't really discourage rape or slavery either, though. It's not a good manual for modern society.

You're mostly correct about slavery, but rapists got stoned to death. Deuteronomy 22.

AFAIK they had to pay 50 shekels and marry the woman they raped right?

Yeah, I suppose I shouldn't have left out that detail. Raping an unbetrothed virgin doesn't get the same treatment as raping another man's wife. I'd still say paying a fine and never being able to divorce counts as "discouraging" rape, but... damn.
