    One of the ten commandments is no adultry. So… yes. You may not have consensual sex outside of your marriage—thereby controlling your personal choices and your body.

    Edit: i am ignorant to the historical differences of adultry compared to the modern definition of the word and its applications.

        Adultery is still a thing in the bible but yes, they did make exceptions for rape. It was compared to murder in that obviously the murder victim is not guilty of murder.

        Still adultery otherwise persists in the bible, and Jesus did not disagree with it. I generally would say the bibles not the worst when you read it as most religious texts are meant for improving people but yeah, that parts not great. A lot of the parts involving women being treated as property are pretty fucked, though that is mostly Old Testament as Jesus was pretty chill about women.

        Pretty sure rape isn’t consensual.

      That is like saying that stopping someone from murdering homeless people else is having control over their body.
