Good question, here is my answer:
The Torah was written several thousand years ago by a bunch of dudes smoking grass or other drugs in the middle of some strange place. If anyone (Jewish) takes the literal word, they are in my opinion, idiots, in particular issues like rape. I doubt you will find any group of Jews marrying girls that are 12, but like they say, there are idiots everywhere.
The good news for me (being Jewish), I can say this freely and I won't be killed. The VAST majority of jews in every country agree with me as well.
I doubt there were many religions that valued women the same way Judaism did for the past 2,000+ years.
