13 If any man takes a wife, and he goes in to her and detests her, 14 and he charges her with shameful conduct and brings on her a bad name and says, “This woman I took, and I came to her, and I found her not a virgin,” 15 the father and the young woman—and mother—shall take and bring out the tokens of virginity of the young woman to the elders of the city at the gate. 16 And the father of the young woman shall say to the elders, “I gave my daughter to this man as a wife, and he detests her. 17 And behold, he has charged her with shameful conduct, saying, ‘I did not find your daughter a virgin,’ and these are the tokens of the virginity of my daughter.” And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city. 18 And the elders of that city shall take the man, and they shall discipline him. 19 And they shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give them to the father of the young woman, because he has brought a bad name on a virgin of Israel. And she shall be wife to him; he may not divorce her all his days. 20 But if this thing is true and tokens of virginity are not found for the young woman, 21 then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of the house of her father, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones to death, because she has done a disgraceful thing in Israel to play the prostitute in the house of her father. And you shall put away the evil from among you. Deuteronomy 22:13-21, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
