Didn't God demand that the maid go back after she tried to run away and submit to her master?
There also seems to be enough people around to avoid the constant incest in Genesis. And if population was the concern here, God could have cut back on the killing just a little bit.
Almost forgot that part of that clear plan in Genesis that mentions how you need to impregnate your brother's wife if he dies. That's a major one and death is the punishment for defying it. No real push to get that on the books here in the United States though for some reason.
