Your deleted section

Fram, I noticed where you deleted an entire section called "Soldier's conduct." Then, in your edit comment, you questioned whether or not this information has already been stated, and asked if these leniencies did not apply only to Biblical times. In answer to your questions, Wikipedia guidelines (MOS:LEAD) instruct us to give only a general overview in the lead paragraph, only to be followed by the details of each statement in the body of the text. This is what we have done here:

"The Jewish soldier, although given license to vent his passion during the time of war, he is still bound by certain contraints, such that he is not permitted to forcibly lay with a captive woman except in the first act of passion, but must thereafter cease from such acts until such time that a full month has expired from the time of her captivity and she is legally married to him. The Jewish soldier, although given license to vent his passion during the time of war, he is only permitted to act so with a captive woman, but not with other non-Jewish women. It is all the same whether he had intercourse with a captive woman who was already married to another man or one who was still single, and whether she was a virgin or had already been slept with by others."

Besides, we have not mentioned anything about the "first act of passion," which is pertinent information to those wanting to know the extent of this license. As for whether this biblical episode applied only to the time of the Bible, the answer is that it is disputed. One rabbi thought that it applied only to the first seven years of Israel's conquest of Canaan (which opinion we will duly mention in this article), but his view was rejected by the Rabbis of Caesarea, as well as by contemporary rabbis and poskim of Israel.Davidbena (talk) 12:23, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
