    Some depictions of marriage in the Bible include married men having teenage sex slaves right?

      Not exactly. Note most of what the Bible says on marriage is Jewish law. The marriage is normally set up by the father of the daughter. The wife legally can not initiate a divorce without consent but the wife can petition a council of rabi to physicall beat the husband till he agrees to the divorce so…

      1 Corinthians‬ ‭7:37‬ ‭ESV‬‬ [37] But whoever is firmly established in his heart, being under no necessity but having his desire under control, and has determined this in his heart, to keep her as his betrothed, he will do well. [36] But if any man thinks he is behaving improperly toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of youth, and thus it must be, let him do what he wishes. He does not sin; let them marry.
