No disrespect, but your quotes have to be examined in context:
> Marriage shall consist of a union between one man and one or more
> women.Genesis 29:17-28.
This is not a law nor can be taken as one. It's the story of Yakov (Jacob) and
his wives.
> Marriage shall not impede a man's right to take concubines in addition to
> his wife or wives. II Samuel 5:13 and II Chronicles 11:21.
This is not a law nor can it be taken as one. It simply stated what King David
did. Doesn't give a law. Same with the Chronicles reference. A reference of
action, not of law.
> A marriage shall be considered valid only if the wife is a virgin. If the
> wife is not a virgin, she shall be executed. Deuteronomy 22:13.
This is about a man who comes to hate his newlywed wife and tries to void the
marriage contract by accusing her of adultry. It has nothing to do with the
validity of the marriage but with the accusation.
> Marriage of a believer and a nonbeliever shall be forbidden. Genesis 24:3.
This is about an oath that Avraham (Abraham) made his servant take to bring a
wife for his son. The specifics is to NOT take a Canaanite wife but a wife from
his people. Again, nothing about a believer or not.
