Actually, this was good treatment for captives compared to some of the other practices around at the time. Given that you could take captives to be your slaves, this allows for them to marry said captives, rather than just enslave.
Not necessarily something that we'd condone today, but then again, I think most of my neighbours would think I was a nut if I suddenly set up an altar and started sacrificing in my backyard too. Not to mention that I'd have to hide away from all contact with men with AF is around and DP can't sit on the same seat. And there's no way DP is ever having a concubine, under any circumstances!
