Just because He commanded or ordered that certain things be done a certain way doesn't necessarily prove that He approved of or justified them.
Why would he command them to do things he didn't approve? And what would the penalty be for refusing to do what God commanded? The justification for those carrying out his commands is that they had no choice but to obey.
As I stated previously, I believe He was making do with a sorry set of circumstances.
Why does God need to simply make do, when it is within his power to make things better? And why command men to do things that will simply add to their misery?

Timing, Keyser, timing.
Everything in its appointed time.
Please be patient.
The justification for those carrying out his commands is that they had no choice but to obey.
Since when?

Since when?
Since it was commanded to them by God himself. They were deferring to an all-powerful, supposedly all-knowing being. Why wouldn't they obey?

It wasn't about morality. It was property law, with women being the property.

... and about keeping the nation intact, preventing anarchy, and providing a lineage for the Messiah.

The commandments - if observed - were to prevent what you are describing.
However, God, in His infinite wisdom knew that they wouldn't be, so He had to implement a system of checks and balances.
