Deuteronomy 22:22-30 ▼

22 |If a man is caught having sexual relations with a married woman, then both of them must die—the man who had sex with the woman and the woman herself—so that this evil will be removed from Israel.

23 |If a man meets a young virgin lady engaged to be married in the city and has sexual relations with her,

24 then the two must be brought to the city gate and there they must be stoned to death—the girl because she was in a city but did not cry out for help, and the man who abused a woman who was engaged to another man. By doing this you are to remove this evil from among you.

25 |If a man meets a girl in the country who is engaged to be married and then rapes her, the man alone—the one who had sexual relations with her—must die.

26 As for the young lady, don't do anything to her. The young lady did nothing worthy of death. This case is similar to when a man attacks his countryman and kills him.

27 Since he found her in the country, the engaged girl may have cried out, but there was no one to rescue her.

28 |However, if a man meets a girl who isn't engaged to be married, and he seizes her, rapes her, and is later found out,

29 then the man who raped her must give 50 shekels of silver to the girl's father. Furthermore, he must marry her. Because he had violated her, he is to not divorce her as long as he lives.

30 |A man must not marry his father's wife, so that he will not dishonor his father's memory.|
