There are no marriage laws really other than not to commit adultery. The others are about sexual relations not so much marriage. As such the institution of marriage never changed in the bible from Moses to the New. The only thing is that Jesus re-confirmed Genesis as superceding Moses on the topic of divorce, but Jesus never called divorce a sin per se, he mostly likened it to adultery, though that's a simplified explanation of what he actually said, which addresses a more specific type of divorce. |
There are many actual. The one I showed before of the rapist marrying the rape victim if the victim wasn't engaged/ virgin depending on the translation

So for instance did the new testament get rid of where a man would have to marry his brothers widow if she had no sons?
What were the changes in divorce? I'm pretty sure that the old testament had it where the woman couldn't get a divorce unless her husband agreed. With sad cases for a woman whose husband was lost not being allowed to remarry. Pretty sure because I was raised Jewish and learned of how in modern day there is the Lieberman clause in Ketubahs.
