Contextual Overview
10 When you go out to battle against your enemies, and Jehovah your God has given them into your hands, and you have taken them captive; 11 and you have seen in the captivity a woman of beautiful form, and you desire her, even to take her to you for a wife, 12 then you shall bring her into the midst of your household. And she shall shave her head, and prepare her nails, 13 and shall remove the clothing of her captivity from her, and shall live in your house, and shall sorrow for her father and her mother a month of days. Then afterwards you shall go in to her, and shall marry her; and she shall be a wife to you. 14 And it shall be, if you do not delight in her, you shall send her away at her desire; and you shall not at all sell her for silver; you shall not treat her as a slave, because you have humbled her.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And seest among the captives a beautiful woman,.... Whether a virgin, wife, or widow, according to the Jewish writers, even though another man's wife; so Jarchi c, and Maimonides d; the marriages of Gentiles being reckoned by the Jews no marriages:
and hast a desire unto her; being captivated with her beauty; some understand this of the strength and rage of lust, but it rather signifies a passionate desire of enjoying her in a lawful way, as follows:
that thou wouldest have her to thy wife; to be married to her in a legal manner; for though it was not allowed the Israelites to marry any of the seven nations of Canaan, nor indeed with any of other nations continuing in their idolatry; yet they might marry such as became their captives and servants, and were wholly in their own power; and especially if proselytes to their religion, and which this fair captive was to become before marriage, as is by some gathered from the following things to be done by her; though after all, this was only a permission, because of the hardness of their hearts, as is said of divorce; and that such marriages were not very grateful to God appears, as some have observed, from the ceremonies used before marriage, to render her contemptible; and the easy dismission of her afterwards, according to the sense of some interpreters.
c Vid. T. Bab. Kiddushin, fol. 21. 2. d Hilchot Melachim, c. 8. sect. 3.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Deuteronomy 21:11. And seest - a beautiful woman — No forcible possession was allowed even in this case, when the woman was taken in war, and was, by the general consent of ancient nations, adjudged as a part of the spoils. The person to whose lot or share such a woman as is here described fell, might, if he chose, have her for a wife on certain conditions; but he was not permitted to use her under any inferior character.
