In aggregate, the Bible teaches that marriage has some flexibility.
Genesis 38 tells that a widow who hadn't given birth to a son was required to marry her deceased husband's brother. Deut. 21 teaches that female prisoners of war were compelled to be the wives of their captors. Deut. 22 presents conditions wherein a woman would be forced to marry the man who raped her.
