13 If any man shall take a wife, and went in to her and hated her, 14 And he set pretexts of words against her, and brought up an evil name upon her, and said, I took this woman, and I shall come near to her, and I found in her not a virgin: 15 And the father of the young girl took, and her mother, and brought the signs of virginity of the young girl to the elders of the city to the gate: 16 And the father of the maiden said to the old men, I gave my daughter to this man for a wife and he will hate her, 17 And behold, he set up pretexts of words, saying, I found not in thy daughter the signs of virginity; and these the signs of my daughter's virginity. And they spread the garment before the old men of the city. Deuteronomy 22:13-17, Smith's Literal Translation. Public domain.
