I believe you are refering to when a single woman is raped and then given in marriage to her attacker. he is never allowed to leave her, as defined in the old testament laws. I believe this system was in place to protect the woman and any offsrping she might have as a result.

"I believe this system was in place to protect the woman and any offsrping she might have as a result." father is the one whose legal "rights" are being looked after here! She isn't being protected at all; that's not even an incidental consideration. She is simply being treated as a piece of vandalized property.

Marrying to a person who brutalise her is a protection to her and her children?. When you hire a former thief as security ward, you may have a point. And besides, why didn't they have an universal BAN on prostitution, if they cared so much about the children?
Forcing a woman to marry her rapist sounds like a good idea to you?
(Don't even ask what happens if she was gang raped. Does she marry the first rapist, or all of them, or what?)
Yeah, god cares so much about the children....

And what about killing forty two children just for making fun of someone? How is that "protecting" them?
Confused?
