The principle of "lo dibra Torah ela keneged yetzer ha-ra" (the Torah is speaking to counter the evil inclination) seems to imply that the Torah lowers its moral standards in certain situations, such as the case of the beautiful female captive (Eishet Yefat Toar) in our parasha. How can we accept and understand such a radical statement?
