Modesty was a virtue back then. If you were found to have sex before marriage you could be stoned or kicked out of the family which is also a death sentence because a woman had no way to support themselves back then (other than prostitution). The only way to have a normal life as a woman was to be married and the only way to be married is if you were a virgin. (yes, they did ask for proof) If you were a woman and you allowed yourself to be alone with a man and things got heated or if he took advantage of you and told everyone it was consensual, either way, you've just literally ruined your life. So I'm quite certain that Rachel and Jacob were NEVER alone in the 7 years before marriage. To be caught alone with a man was to be labeled a whore. I'm sure he admired her from afar, she listened to him talk to her father, but that's about it. I'm quite sure Leah was so afraid of being an old maid (which was also a death sentence) that she went along with Laban's plans. It doesn't say that in the Bible but it's the only thing that makes sense. One more thing, if you think it's not possible for someone to be silent through sex with a man that's having sex for his first time ever then I think you watch too many movies. lol
