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. 22 If a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall die, even the two of them, the man that lay with the woman and the woman. And you shall put away the evil from Israel. 23 If there is a young woman, a virgin, betrothed to a husband, and a man finds her in the city and lies with her, 24 then you? shall bring out the two of them to the gate of that city, and you? shall stone them with stones to death—the young woman on account of the matter, because she did not cry out in the city, and the man upon this thing, because he humbled the wife of his neighbor. And you shall put away the evil from among you. 25 But if in the countryside the man finds a young woman betrothed, and the man forces her and lies with her, only the man who lay with her shall die. 26 And to the young woman you shall not do anything; in the young woman there is no sin of death. For as when a man rises against his neighbor and kills him, even so is this matter. 27 For he found her in the countryside and cried out the young woman betrothed, and there was no one to save her. 28 If a man finds a young woman, a virgin who is not betrothed, and he seizes her and lies with her and they are found out, 29 then the man who lay with her shall give to the father of the young woman fifty shekels of silver, and to him she shall be wife upon that he has humbled her. He shall not be permitted to divorce her all his days. 30 A man shall not take the wife of his father, and he shall not uncover the skirt of his father. Deuteronomy 22:13-30, Berean Literal Bible.
