Well I think you shouldn't be so harsh... Put all these commands in the right time! In these days there was no State to protect people, so another Power was ruling society and that was the religious power. And there was nothing worse for a woman than her husband to die and leave her without any income. So the brother was taking care of here. Don't forget this is about 3000 years ago. The world is changing and so does the c(C)hurch.
I think you shouldn't be so narrowsighted and only look at these sayings with your wisdom and knowledge and morals. Because otherwise you're not better then the people still believing in these sayings!
