God has some pretty sick and perverted ideas about marriage, most of them ILLEGAL IN THE US FOR MORE THAN 200 years...

The Varieties of Biblical Marriage
Polygynous Marriage -- Probably the most common form of marriage in the bible, it is where a man has more than one wife.
Levirate Marriage -- When a woman was widowed without a son, it became the responsibility of the brother-in-law or a close male relative to take her in and impregnate her. See Ruth, and the story of Onan (Gen. 38:6-10).
A man, a woman and her property — a female slave -- Abraham (Gen. 16:1-6) and Jacob (Gen. 30:4-5).
A man, one or more wives, and some concubines -- The definition of a concubine varies from culture to culture, but they tended to be live-in mistresses. To see how badly a concubine could be treated, see the famous story of the Levite and his concubine (Judges 19:1-30).
A male soldier and a female prisoner of war -- Women could be taken as booty from a successful campaign and forced to become wives or concubines. Deuteronomy 21:11-14
A male rapist and his victim -- Deuteronomy 22:28-29 describes how an unmarried woman who had been raped must marry her attacker.
A male and female slave -- A female slave could be married to a male slave without consent.
and of course …
Monogamous, heterosexual marriage.
