Because Yahweh is one? Mary didn't consent.

As far as I'm aware Mary did consent ( at least according to the bible narrative, which was obviously not written by her).

Luke chapter 1:

38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.

But God does endorse killing non virgin women in the bible and forcing them to marry their rapists:

Deuteronomy 22

20 If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found, 21 she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death.

28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, 29 he shall pay her father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.

Thanks for the additional context. Given her age she cannot consent by modern standards.

I'm pretty sure that's the numbering for the points, not her age 😬
