13 If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and then hate her, 14 And give an occasion of speech against her, charging her with adultery, and bring an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I lay with her, I found her not a virgin; 15 Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity to the elders of the city at the gate; 16 And the damsel's father shall say to the elders, I gave my daughter to this man to wife, and he hates her; 17 And, lo, he has given occasion of speech against her, charging her with whoredom, saying, I found not your daughter a virgin; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city. Deuteronomy 22:13-17, Lamsa Bible. Public domain.
