What does 'wife' mean though? In a time/place of depravity?
Mohammed's 'wife' Safiyah -
According to the Hadith, Safiyah did not have a choice in this marriage; she was war booty for Mohammad,
not an uncommon practice at the time. She and her husband were captured after Mohammad's conquest of Khaybar.
He tortured & murdered her husband Kinana and murdered her father after taking them as prisoners of war.
The Hadith narrations agree that Mohammad chose her due to her exceeding beauty, as had been his custom where
the Muslims took slave women as booty, such as the conquest of the Banu Qurayzah.
Similarly the Genesis 6 account could have been part of an act of war against mankind.
That isn't to say that the women (or some of them) didn't cooperate willingly. Just that we can't assume they did
based on our understanding of how marriage should be.

When Paul stood before the Sanhedrin, Acts 23 accounts the quarreling among the Sadducees and the Pharisees when he brought up the resurrection, knowing "the Sadducees say that there is neither a resurrection, nor angels, nor spirits, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all (Acts 23:8)," and found myself wishing I had a more thorough explanation of the Sadducee view of angels and spirits to help determine the extent of error or accuracy. I mean, should we always infer that the Pharisees are completely right when it comes to biblical interpretation?
The fact of the matter is simple. If the KJV/Textus Receptus was translated properly it would be word for word to the Hebrew Torah.
If it is not word for word to the Hebrew Torah it is INCORRECT.
The Hebrew Torah existed for 3,500 years before the Textus Receptus KJV was ever written. If it reads differently and gives a different meaning to Genesis Chapter 6 it's proof Of mistranslation.
Those taking the view point of the KJV over the Hebrew Torah are being deceived.

Suit yourself.
Genesis 6 declares that humans had become so consistently evil that God destroyed them.
It doesn't sound like they had a righteous understanding of a marital relationship.
Forced marriages would be more likely than not in a world like that. It happens even in today's world.
