The Ten Commandments:

A Defunct Ancient Israelite Code

Harry McCall gives a nice breakdown on the Big 10 and who they are really for. Of particular interest:

14 You shall not commit adultery.

(This Commandment is far from what adultery means today. In Israelite society a girl was property of her father until married and then property of her husband after marriage, adultery meant the use of another man’s sexual possession to pleasure and children.

Plus, the fact that prostitutes, polygamy, concubines were protected sexual rights for all men under Yahweh’s Commandments, males were always assured of sexual gratification and while women remain uneducated property.)
