CMV: Yahweh is/was unjust in saying that rape survivors should be stoned to death

Deuteronomy 22:24, 25

24 you should bring them both out to the gate of that city and stone them to death, the girl because she did not scream in the city and the man because he humiliated the wife of his fellow man. So you must remove what is evil from your midst.

25 “If, however, the man happened to meet the engaged girl in the field and the man overpowered her and lay down with her, the man who lay down with her is to die by himself

If the girl was engaged, the man was to be stoned to death. If the girl screamed when she was attacked, she was not to be punished, but if the engaged girl failed to scream (thereby indicating consent), she was also put to death.​

Back then it was more common for someone to speak bluntly of such things and for ones to cry out in cities and others react. But if she didn't, Really she was giving consent.

But in 25 where there is no evidence she is giving consent (no witnesses) she was instead given the benefit of the doubt and not considered guilty

If proven she didn't give consent which was common. Only he shall die
