RAPE

"If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;" "Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you." [Deut 22: 23-24]
"But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die:" [Deut 22: 25]

If you're a single virgin, it appears that being raped is the quick way to find a husband:
"If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;" "Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days." [Deut 22: 28-29]
